Mongo has always been a fan of Liquigas. Maybe it was from the early days when I first heard Phil Liggett pronounce the team name as "Leaky Gas" that I was both amused and curious. Through both scandal and success, Liquigas has been one of the top 3-5 Pro Tour teams for years now.
After laying down the smack and winning the TTT, Liquigas propelled star on the rise and "Mongo-predicted-podium-finisher", Vincenzo Nibali, into the Magglio Ordonez...and "Now or never", Ivan Basso, into second place after four stages.
Mongo will be pulling for Nibali for the rest of the Giro. With VDV down and out, Mongo feels good about throwing his "Juice" behind Nibali and Liquigas. In fact...here's what Mongo had to say over a year ago.
