Rui Costa for GC

Let's not get too excited shall we? I don't think he has any chance of staying on froome's wheel on the high mountain stage and even on porte's wheel would be a strech. And then we have the time trial. . . .

Haven't seen the stage, but disappointing to see Viviani in 17th. So much talent, but presumably his positioning let him down again?

He'll get a ton of bonus seconds in the sprints, though...

He's not a climber anyway, and certainly not against Sky. I just hope he picks up a stage win along the way to a good GC placing.

Yeah what happened to him:(:confused:

Forget him. Something is seriously wrong with his training, motivation, team , leadout, positioning and sprinting. This is the person Cavendish said he fears the most but it was the "Gorilla" who defeated him in the TDF. Goss is gone:rolleyes:. He is getting defeated by second stringers.
