    Giro d'Italia Il Giro d'Italia 2025: Who will win? Pre-race poll.

    I don't know, i'm just not really rooting for anybody. Basically just hoping for a close battle between whoever. Other than that, it's waiting for Dauphiné and TdF.

    Interesting, in my mind he is closer to Contador in that regard.

    Funnily enough, the same applies to Jan Ullrich, for instance, who would probably rank fairly low on nthe natural climber scale for most people. He was of course famous for climbing seated more than most, but his attacks he generally made out of the saddle.

    Was Armstrong more of a natural climber than Pogacar and Nibali? I don't want to belabor this too much, btw, I'm just interested in how people use this term.

    Interesting, I have had very similar experiences with seizures. Basically, the more active you are, the quicker you feel normal again.

    Pogacar does that sometimes, too. I don't know if I would regard him less of a natural climber than Vingegaard or Contador.

    But how does it apply to Vingegaard and Contador and not to Froome?

    What "natural climber" often ends up meaning in practice is "riders who are really only good at climbing."

    Who are you referring to?

    I've seen nothing to indicate that. I agree with Logic that 9th place 1:10-20 back would have been the likely outcome.

    Best he can do is be in the best possible position to profit if Pogacar and/or Vingegaard crash out or have a really bad day.

    I don't think he was better than Nordhagen.

    It's a better look for him than just getting dropped on his own. He is very preoccupied with appearances.

    Nah, he was about to get dropped himself and figured he might as well help Lecerf.
