    Who will win on Green Mountain?

    Froome, Rodriguez, Nibali - these are the most recent winners of the Green Mountain stage at Oman. Even Gesink in 2011 was fine given the level of the field present at that time :). No Poels / other outsiders on the top. Though, I agree, this is the pro cycling, so anything might happen...

    Who will win on Green Mountain?

    I'm struggling to understand how Wout Poels can have more votes than guys like Nibali and Rodriguez. I do understand the SKY transformation magic, but TOP10 at the Basque tour is like his best achievement so far...

    Vuelta a Andalucia (Ruta Del Sol) 2.HC // 18.2 - 22.2

    Putting aside Contador / Froome battle for 1st, I expect aggressive riding from Bardet - he was great in Almeria and is a good shot for top3. Would be also interesting to see N. Roche first big race for SKY :o p.s. there is no way that Valverde could follow those accelerations on Col du B?al)

    Who will win on Green Mountain?

    Purito ftw in 2013 style. Valverde will win sprint for 2nd ahead of Nibali, Majka and Konig. Kreuzegur will show good legs here attacking from the bottom to fade in the last km.
