Dirkprovin does not approve.

 

[Valv.Piti]

1. Quintana 2. Landa 3. Nibali

Gaviria to asswhop Greipel, Landa to win a few stages including Blockhaus, but ultimately Nairo will win the GC after a Sastre-esque performance to Piancavallo (or Pantani I guess). G to finish 8th at best.

Podium: Quintana, Nibali, Mollema
Most Stage Wins: Quintana
Stage 1 Winner: Greipel
Stage 10 Winner: Dumoulin
Stage 21: Winner: Dumoulin
GT Top 10 GC Debutants: Brambilla, Zakarin, Costa

 

[HelloDolly]

I think all intelligence suggests that this race will be Quintana and then everyone else

But the Nibali force is strong...his rivals have a way of disappearing from any GT

I would really like to see SK and Landa on the podium , because I like them both and
SK deserves it after last year and
Landa needs it if looking for a new contract

The following will win stages
Greipel,Ulissi, Dennis , Konrad, Formolo, Dombroski, Fraile, Cataldo

Top 10 will include Rolland, Yates, Kangert, Pozzo, Amador

 

[Poursuivant]

Quintana
Landa
Yates

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Maglia Rosa: Nibali
2. Quintana, 3. Pinot

Most Stage Wins: Greipel - somehow always manages to perform in the Giro.
Maglia Azzurra: Dupont, Kangert, Cataldo - it's really difficult to say, but Astana's got not serious GC plan and a some great climbers.
Maglia Ciclamino (It's back!!): Nizzolo - Probably the easiest competition to decide
Maglia Bianca: Yates

GT Top 10 GC Debutants: Zakarin, Hirt, Thomas

 

[AlexNYC]

I think the podium will be Quintana, Landa, and Dumoulin.

Landa will be Quintana's main rival, but will lose the Giro in the ITTs. Dumolin will get on the podium by destroying everyone in stage 10.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Podium: 1. Pinot 2. Landa 3. Nibali

Most wins: Greipel

Stage 1: Greipel
Stage 2: Dumoulin
Stage 3: Dumoulin

Predictions : G and Yates to finish 4th/5th, Quintana to DNF then go on to win Tour.

 

[staubsauger]

One of Kruijswijk, Pinot, Zakarin on paper absolutely got the quality to win big time in the tt and ask a huge price for Quintana to defeat them in the mountains!

 

[rehy90]

I hope for anyone with more than 170 cm and 60 kg. But I know it will be hard to beat Quintana now when they build GTs for him. Anyway, I believe that Nibali is somehow going to end up on the top spot.

 

[Laplaz]

1. Nibali
2. Quintana
3. Pinot

Maglia Bianca: Yates
Maglia Ciclamino: Nizzolo
Maglia Azzurra: Foliforov

 

[Red Rick]

Podium.

1. Kruijswijk
2. Dumoulin
3. Mollema

Most stage wins: Dumoulin

Stage 1 winner: Moreno Hofland
Stage 10 winner: Tom Dumoulin
Stage 21 winner: Tom Dumoulin

 

[hazaran]

Podium: G, Dumoulin, Quintana
Stage 1 Winner: Greipel
Stage 10 Winner: G
Stage 21: Winner: Dumoulin

Landa DNF, Nibali will stutter about "his mind in the wrong place" after losing huge chunks of time in stage 4 and 9, Quintana loses it in the TTs, the "TT revelation" Pinot fails to do a single good TT after it turns out his one good performance was a fluke

 

[alexix7]

Podium: 1.Pinot 2.Thomas 3.Nibali (Quintana abandons, SK fall out of GC because of bad day, Landa will be in top 10)
Most Stage Wins: Ewan and R.Costa (both 2 wins)
Stage 1 Winner: Ewan
Stage 10 Winner: Dumoulin
Stage 21: Winner: Dennis( if abandon, then Dumoulin again)
GT Top 10 GC Debutants: Zakarin, Thomas (maybe Kangert)

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

1. Pinot
2. Nibali
3. Mollema

Maglia Bianca: Yates
Maglia Ciclamino: Nizzolo
Maglia Azzurra: Dumoulin

 

[Brullnux]

Considering the Giro organisers have gone borderline mad and full Savoldelli on the riders, I predict many, many crashes and DNFs.

 

[Vesica]

Podium: Quintana, Nibali, Kruijswijk
Most Stage Wins: Quintana
Stage 1 Winner: Greipel
Stage 10 Winner: Pinot or Dumoulin
Stage 21: Winner: Campenaerts

In opposite to TdF, there is a lot of climbing in this Giro
Seems to be alright with Pozzovivo and TJVG (for an example)

Please explain to me and the others on this forum why those predictions are fairy tales. And maybe you can put up your own predictions. Oh and why exactly are my predictions fairy tales and not those of other members? just curious.
