There is no such thing as minor surgery. There are only minor

Young Kreuziger (who turns 26 the day after the Giro starts) or Uran if he is young and Kreuziger is too old. I can't even find the rules page on the Giro site, and sincerely request that we be given an extra day to pick our young guy. If neither of those guys qualify then Inauxtasi.

Can I switch my Points pick to a rider that may actually have a vague interest in the race please? Hushovd out - Uran in

kathy

GC - Frank Schleck???

Mountains - Michael Nieve

Points - Scarponi

Young - ???Vanendert

Stage 1 - Hushovd

I can't find the young rider regulations - they're not available on the official website. Any ideas??

Fontfroide

I think we should have a day's grace if there are no rules posted. I could not find any either. How can we pick the young guy if we don't know is it 25 years old on 1 Jan 2012, is it 26? Maybe on the day the Giro starts? Just one day, so we can make picks that make some sense.

We will be able to tell on the first day, when NOTHING will be decided, by looking at the rankings of the young guys.

Flippin genius that Kathy.

Please change my young pick to Uran.

I think I'll take a slice of Uran for young rider, too.
Better a guy who is 25 and can climb, than a real youngster.

Quintana is there too.. interesting, i didn't see him yet, but heard lots.

I toyed with Dani the Dark for tomorrow, but finally decided on Sandy Casar - he can get over the hills, and is handy in a selective sprint. But we'll probably discover that Thor was sandbagging today and saving himself for tomorrow Laughing
