Add a rider and then bet on if they will start in the 2024 Giro d'Italia.
Please only add riders you think people are interested in. We only get 100 slots so if you waste them all on riders no one cares about or that are 0%, you're ruining the question for everyone.
Must be listed as a starter on the official race report from the first stage. If the first stage is canceled or postponed, etc., then we'll use the first stage that happens. If the rider starts a stage that is later canceled mid-stage and results are annulled, I'll count them as having started, even if the organization does something else.
If the entire race doesn't happen at all, resolves N/A instead of all No. I don't want the probabilities to be impacted by something like global catastrophe or organizer incompetence. Bet as if the race will happen.

This turned out to be moderately interesting to me but probably not worth the full investment. I checked it 'occasionally' to see if there was new startlist news but the fees were probably not high enough to encourage people to report startlist news every time someone hinted they might go.
I don't think I would recreate the same market next year.
However, there is still one for the TDF!

Why it makes sense for Visma to send Kuss to the Giro: https://youtu.be/wYLBMB9PJdw?si=umgKjR1SekUTZ7c0
@LocalGlobal There is a theory bouncing around that Wout would do Giro->Olympics instead of TDF. Not that I necessarily subscribe to it....
@Eliza Theory seems pretty silly tbh. He wants to peak for the cobbled classics, doing the Giro after seems very difficult. I also don't believe in GC Wout (although I also didn't believe in GC Kuss and look at how that ended) and stage win at tour > stage wins at Giro.
@LocalGlobal In response to your comment, I created this question:
/Eliza/will-the-giro-ditalias-calendar-pos
If the Giro was in a different place on the calendar, more classics riders could have the opportunity to ride it. It could be very good for the race overall. Seems unlikely to happen, though.
@LocalGlobal I don't think WVA is able to win the Giro, but with his punch, TT abilities and sort of climbing skills he could end up Top5 or even podium (depending on the startlist). He didn't win a stage last Tour and I think winning a stage in every GT is more prestigious than winning another Tour stage. btw Giro>>>French Media conference aka Tour
Only problems I see as well as you are the cobble races. But it'll be possible to attend both if he doesn't do every Belgian Kermesse race and just Strade, PR and Flanders.
@Iamczecksy You're probably right but he would have such a high chance of winning if he rides this route.
