He has yet to show that he is really relevant in cycling post-comeback. He spent most of the season in a form where the big question has been 'Will he finish this race?' I say he finishes within top 20-30 places assuming he's sheltered and not having to sacrifice to support somebody else. Not...

Have any women finished yet? Any times posted?

I'm just hoping all the contenders stay healthy & fight the good fight -- too many are falling to illness & odd stuff at the Giro. Also hope to see Andy return to relevance soon.

It's still wide open, but the head says Nibali, the heart says Evans, or Hesjedal attacking his way back in.

Either could be good, but the frame that fits best will be significantly better. If both frames fit well, go with the carbon frame. Ultegra vs 105 is not a major difference.

I assume 'all of the above' is the Vino option?

Sagan and Cance to defeat eachother. The win goes to somebody who's been going well lately, but less expected -- Chavanel, Haussler, Flecha perhaps?

So many favorites to choose from -- I give a slight edge to de Ronde as the best balance of different race elements.

Yeah, but what's the nickname that comes out of it? El Wheelie-ero?

Sagan to get it right this time -- has to happen sooner or later.

There has been a LOT of good quality racing lately -- Hope this one keeps up with that trend!

He would probably misidentify a fish as one of the fishermen.

He'll be on top form, not sure that he'll win de Ronde though. Looking forward to a hard-fought, complex Classics campaign! :)

For the podium, choose two of: Boom, Chavanel, Terpstra, EBH, Hushovd, Roelandts, Nuyens plus Pozzato. Pippo to heavily mark the wrong man, finishing second.

Tough one. His stock has come way down, and he might be affordable for some US team, but even then, I'm not sure they'll bite.
