Actually Wabbit, I don't think Salvoldelli won't even be racing in the Giro and thus defending his win from last year!!..I read somewhere on cyclingnews.com that Telecom is totaly concentrating on the Tour and thus he won't be doing the Giro and only be doing the tour and possibly the Vuelta, kind of sad isn't it that he won't even get a chance at defending his win eh??...but I guess that's how cycling is going these day's..
