Schroeder has a few dark horses, but it's highly unlikely.

BTW, Aaron Quesnell has instructed me to post that he predicts Peter

Knudsen

to win. (Knudsen thinks Quesnell is stupid)

CSC? I'm ignoring them even though Piil is on fire.

Fred Rodriguez. He's got the power, the speed, the team and the politics

working for him.

For the follow-up posts - no candyassing. One pick for the win, even if it is a candyass race (if
a foreigner wins, 1st American gets the jersey - candyassing at it's finest)

As per instructions, one pick for the win: Henk Vogels.

Michael.

As per instructions, one pick for the win: David Clinger.

Kenny Labbe.

The Babe Ruth of bicycle racing. I hope you can come good.

One pick for the win? It's got to be Danny Pate then.

But I get grandfathered, right?

I made my candyass pick before the candyass rule was in effect.

OK, I'll change it - one pick for the win.

Ya, I know.

Problem is, I don't talk to anyone that races against them and haven't seen any of their riders in
the Giro, so any comment I did make about them would be a pure spewage of aromatic excrement.

They look good though don't they? Remember when Julian Dean used to win everything when he raced
for Shaklee?

Yeah what ever, but who will get dropped first? Predict that!
