Fantasy Giro, the race agaist the clock.

It's just a matter of hours before Matthius Russ rolls down the start ramp, which also means there's only a couple of hours to get your fantasy Giro team picked. A quick look at the entries in the Tour De Pance minileague so far reveals all of three teams, so I'm looking forward to finishing on the fantasy podium this year.

It seems that Bradley Wiggins is among the favourites for the prologue and I hope he does well as he's in my team. Now riding for the new Sky team and with the backing of "billionare tyrant" Rupert Murdoch, Bradley should have all the support he needs. Rumour has it he's also got a new Pinarello time trial bike for the Giro, which his wife leaked a sneak preview of the other day.


Never mind the sleek aerodynamic lines of the bike, check out how well organised the laundry is round the Wiggins house. We can be sure Bradley will be riding in a clean skinsuit today.
