Yeah, Simoni finished third last year and second the year before, and Cunego finished fourth last year. Both Simoni and Cunego finished ahead of the defending champion, Savoldelli, last year.
Simoni's finished no worse than third in 7 of the last 8 Giro's.
In '05 Cunego finished 18th and rode a three week race with mononucleosis. He was still a half an hour faster than Basso, who also was sick.
Those are pretty lackluster results.
I love it when the casual bike fans come out in the summer....
shaking my head....
