I agree, I hope it's a mudfest. Most of the riders want mud,rather than dust. I can't blame them. I remember last year it was so mild people were watching in shorts and t-shirts!

I doubt Cipo will do Roubaix. He really doesn't like that race, and probably doesn't want to risk a bad crash that could keep him out of the Giro. You all know how it is at Roubaix- one bad crash and there goes half your season!
