Hugo Koblet said:But to do well in the GC was never a goal for him in the Giro. His main goal was to win a stage and his overall goal for the season was the Vuelta.
scullster46 said:Did Anton ever give an explanation to why his form was so horrific in the Vuelta? Was it just the Giro, cause he didn't really go all out there?(although Nibali, Rodriguez and Scarponi didn't do as well as expected in the Vuelta either so it could have been that)

Greenflame said:True, forgot about that. He wasn't in GC contention there though, as Hugo pointed out.
Funny to see that Gilbert is a favourite for pretty much any race he's aiming for next year. Everyone does apparently think he's going to be as dominant as last year?
