Probably wiggins but more interesting if mountains are really made to count.. If not wiggins then gesink.
If the mountains are made to count, Dombrowski will win ;)


All kidding aside, I hope he won't have to sacrifice himself completely... even if it's just his first pro year, he should be the favourite for the white jersey.
 
Chavanel for OPQS. He wants to ride the Giro, anyway.

For me, it's not about the average team strength, but about the best riders on it for the key (mountain) stages in this race.
