There has been a smattering of smack talk in various threads, but I thought perhaps we should gather it all in one place.  I will head this up, mostly because since the ToC is stealing a bunch of potential GC types from Italy, I figured the Giro was the place to get points this year, and structured my team accordingly.  So with no further ado, I present the Echelon of fools Giro 2010 line-up:

Ivan "still smiling" Basso

Carlos "no you're only worth 12 points" Sastre

Bauke "the other other great Dutch hope" Mollema

Chris "I don't need no stinkin' collarbone" Anker Sörensen 

Frederik "I swear JV promised me leadership at the Giro" Kessiakoff 

Rigoberto "it's my turn"  Uran 
Eros :get me outta this jersey" Capecchi 
Mauro "I was clean all along" Santambrogio 
and
Enrico "deal of the century" Gasparotto 

If this team doesn't get me above the 300th place mark...I don't know what will...
How do you plan on topping that one?

sigh...
