Struggling to find the right 1 pointer? Perhaps this race can help.
Some names taking the start:
Viviani
Ale-Jet
Roshe
Modolo
Pozzovivo
Napolitano
The entire list here.
Some more copying and pasting below the jump.
Past winners (starting with recent): Viviani, Ale-Jet, Ale-Jet, Ale-Jet, Ale-Jet, Ale-Jet, Ale-Jet.
Thats right, Mr Petacchi probably feels like he owns the race and wants to show everybody last year was just a tiny stumble. We shall see.
Feel a need to practice a bit of Italian? A little writeup in the local lingo might help with that.
Ticker? Couldn't find one, so I expect we may reduce the post to a bit of result showoff after the race. The race is scheduled to start at 10:45 (CET) and end around 15:30, but the cold weather may change some of these things.
My money is on Modolo at this time. He is on a small team, so this will be a good opportunity to show what he can do in order to get a better contract some other place. (we are now over 150 words)

Modolo could of gotten a bigger contract last year if he wanted to...he won 10 races in a 2 month span
He would be second-fiddle anywhere else at this point
yes, probably. Also with the Giro invite for the team, the decision to stay could turn
out right.
Anyway its more a personal desire to see him more oftem in the all the bigger races. If he was on a WT team, I would probably have selected him for the FSA DS game.
The thing about Modolo (and Colnago for that matter) will be riding almost all the Italian race
and at only 2 points, he would place at San Remo and then if he wins/places at an one-day italian race and a few stages somewhere, he’ll break 200
and, for those who can access it, rai sport 2 is scheduled to have an hour of delayed coverage at 22.30 local time.
remember, that is not a time set in stone.

It didn't pass last year when he won this race?

could have been a fluke

yes
