Giro Italy route announced

Ivan Basso - Giro d'Italia 2011 Mount Etna and Monte Zoncolan highlights of 'savage' grand tourForza Italia: the path of the following year, the Giro d'Italia was announced in Turin on Saturday photo: GETTY IMAGES

Mountain Fest will include not less than seven top linings and also in the iconic give as Austria Grossglockner in Passo Giau, and Rifugio Gardeccia. Gravity is such that it is highly unlikely that anybody who harbours serious intentions in the Tour de France 2011 contemplate serious attack of the Giro.

"Savage, there is no other explanation of" Yeats in wake of the journey. "Seven finishes on the top of the mountain is has to be some kind of record, and the fact that they are difficult and means will be unbelievably difficult race will be great to view from the panoramic point of view, though.

"Although it has not yet been decided, we will have someone there who will seek to contest the gas chromatography, and if they are able to manage succession during three weeks, then they will have a chance of finishing right to ranking.

"I am not expect many Tour favourites to compete here now because I think it's just will be too difficult to make both races in a short space of time.

"Vincenzo Nibali is must be early favourite to me, it will have passed the belief after his victory tour this season and the fact that race visits Sicily, where he is, it will be another great incentive to perform.

"Plugins like Damiano Cunego, Stefano Garzelli and Michele Scarponi will be bang on it though and they will be worth keeping an eye on, as well as".

Lance Armstrong’s last overseas race as a professional will be at the Tour Down Under in South Australia.

It will be Armstrong’s third time at the Adelaide-based event which has been on the ProTour calendar since 2008.

Armstrong launched his comeback to professional cycling at the 2009 Santos Tour Down Under, and returned in 2010 to debut his new team, Team RadioShack.

 

"The impact Lance has had on the Santos Tour Down Under and the interest in cycling in South Australia has been astounding," said State Premier Mike Rann.

"I would encourage people not to miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to watch Lance compete for the very last time here in Adelaide in January."

Armstrong said he was looking forward to returning  to Adelaide. "I'm excited to be competing in my last professional ride outside the US at the Santos Tour Down Under," he said.

"It will be my third time to the event, and Im sure I will enjoy it as much as I have the first two times.

"I will never forget the reception we received in Adelaide when we kicked off the LIVESTRONG global campaign. I look forward to racing and also checking in on the progress in South Australia."
