Look at the final poll (different thread). The results are not so painful there.GoodTimes said:I've been lurking here a few months, but decided I needed to create an account to ask a painful question. How does Gesink have as many votes as Ryder?
Higher than Gesink for sureGoodTimes said:Thanks for the welcome, cheers.
As a Canadian, I suppose I'm as blind as the Dutchmen. I can't help but think my man has a reasonable chance at defending his title!
perhaps its bad memory or just the clothes, but this man looks in real good form.classicomano said:#swag

I think bolded bit along with the fact that Hesjedal has looked fairly strong so far this year (maybe not top top shape mind you).why painfull? the last time Gesink was actually top he beat Hesjedal in a GT. Hell, later that year he even beat Hesjedal at his homeground in his own race by simply riding him off.
Ofcourse... since that year we've yet to see the same Gesink...
Also, it would appear, Rollin instead of Veikkanen and Ignatenko rather than Ignatiev.Eshnar said:Apparently Navardauskas in instead of Howes...

I loved this picture of Samuhfer07 said:I just checked the pics of the press conference & I noticed Hesjedal looks "really fit"- Ryder looks ready to defend the title without a doubt..
Evans looks like a body builder in comparison.Pippo_San said:Scarponi: The Little Dwarf
Would you just look at how skinny Wiggo is? FFS...skinnier than the Condor

Your excuses in advance for Gesink are getting better every yearDekker_Tifosi said:Gesink will shut you up later!
Nah seriously Gesink looks way more muscled than in his earlier years. Probably the reason why his climbing is so irregular nowadays.. Too much upper body muscle...

That's why I put all my money on Delfino, Gianni Savio's menthality of going all-out and the Androni Giocatolli privates to set up some strong breakaways to let Franco gain back time on Wiggins & Nibali like they did with Rujano in 2005 and finally crack Wiggins in a weak situation in the (pen)ultimate moutain stage(s). Hopefully it will turn out better tis time than 2005.
Otherwise my hope goes to Betancur with Pozzovivo, Dupont and Georges or Santa with Garzelli, Di Luca; Rabottini and Gatto as his adjutants to cause a similar situation. Maybe Sanchez could also suprise with a decent tt, because of the technical first km's and could jump away later on.
Those are my risky bets for the overal.
