CyclingFever's startlist is fully baked for tomorrow's Monument. Removed is Valverde (virus?); additional names to remember are Stefano Garzelli, Rinaldo Nocentini, Vlad Efimkin, Luca Mazzanti, Gibo Simoni, Oscar Freire (hey, you never know), Carlos Sastre, and Mikhael Ignatiev.
TV coverage, from our friends at CyclingFans.com: Versus will show its usual hour-long show later in the day. RAI-Tre and Eurosport have the live coverage. Not sure how to watch RAI3 on line, but it's probably out there.
Contrast that uninspired drivel to what's coming out of the Pez Tower in downtown Vancouver all week. They're still killing it... today they drive the course, a tried and true Pez gimmick (that I always love). Yesterday they told the almost-forgotten story of Giovanni Gerbi, winner of the first edition in 1905.
For one-stop shopping, though, you can't beat the VeloNews Lombardia preview. N.b.: There's a Prof. Wilcockson sighting!
