watch the profile again.this is not for rujano at all,he just has to limit the losses

are you serious?there is cervinia,that is perfect for rujano,he can take 1 minute on the second arrived rider.there are stages where guys like purito,hesjedal will lose more than 5 minutes if the climbers in form go full-gas from long range.

but i'd like rujano to be again at the front like today.not for the win but just to not lose time again.

of course he's not serious. I hope. he's a troll or he's really very stupid

I see. But he tried to frighten the peloton even on Rocco di Cambio, so why not?
He won't do anything on pedalabele Cervinia. There is too sloping and likely lots of wind. maybe, on piani resinelli then, something like that, sorry i do not remember a precise name.

who do you guys expect to get the best results in the next four stages?

Intxausti, Nieve or Caruso?

intxausti I have my doubts about recuperation. he is the most talented of the 3 though.

even though Caruso showed in this giro that he can also get results on the flat stages and two out of those next four could feature another large group sprint/bunch sprint?

you mean in actual placings, or overall?? I don't think any of the 4 will try fridays massprint for instance. but saturdya should be intxausti. tomorrow him or nieve. caruso stay with basso

who will have most top ten placings in 4 days? I think none of them will have even 1. maybe nieve tomorrow but doubtful

Hoping for first, but it will probably come near the end of the second one
much depends on whether there is still going to be a credible remnant of a break in front when the pack enters the town. I am sure we can count on the big teams to keep a blistering pace so, if not way before, the attacks will explode on the second ramp with a few guys still capable to sprint for the bonus time

I think lampre will go nuts at the beginning of the first climb. this is why they can really hurt basso

but he lacks the explosiveness. also today he didn't look too good in that climb and he dropped back a lot after that
