| I'm just curious - I'm thinking about making a trip to see the Giro d'Italia (right after seeing the World Table Tennis Championships in Zagreb, Croatia), and hope to see stages 14 & 15 in the mountains (May 25 & 26). Will anyone else be there during that time? |

Having a rider to support/follow/cheer usually helps to take you into the 'pro cycling world', and helps more if that rider shines on mountains, uphills or cobblestones (where races are more exciting): attacks, crisis, gap-difference tension...
I'm sure that if a Serb rider appears to do great things in cycling, you'll follow the sport (more), as happened in Kazakhstan with Alexandre Vinokourov :toocool: . |

He's doing a huge season indeed (Liège-Bastogne-Liège winner, podium in all the 'ardennes' classics) . In last year's Vuelta proved that he could achieve on 3-week tours, as he's doing on this Giro; since he won't go to the Tour, I hope he goes to La Vuelta again to be another great 'non-spanish contender'.
PS Go Piepoli! :D
PS2 Good photos, 'partyhopper'. |
