BigMac said:You're almost there! The finnish line's in sight already! Cheering for you.
The first scenario with Basso failing to finish it's the most probably one of those 3 cases, but I'm confident he will.Armchair cyclist said:There are essentially only three scenarios that could prevent you winning:
Basso failing to finish, or either Monfort or Deignan winning tomorrow with such a margin that they also move many places up the GC.
The biggest thing that is a reasonable possibility tomorrow, Aru overtaking Uran for 2nd (a 60 point difference), would be largely neutralised as the highest place rider to not have both of them is Vladimir in 7th, 341 pts off the podium. Swings and roundabouts otherwise.

murali said:Wow, I am in top-5 of something in this Giro. didnt expect that at all.
Is there any scope for major changes in today's stage?
murali said:is anyone doing the best team-choice analysis?
big gainers, big losers, etc....
btw, nobody chose Michael Rogers? at 277 he was coming pretty cheap.
Looking forward to the final standings.
Armchair cyclist said:Congratulations to Hugo87, and to the other podium teams who followed very similar tactics.
And well done to all of us, who contributed to a collective wisdom team that scored in the top ten.
Hugo87 said:I'm very happy to win this game against so many competitive cyclist fans, congratulations to all, especially to NairoQ and HilltopFinisher to making me sweat to the last stage.
Thank you Armchair cyclist for such hard work that a game with a continuous daily actualization requires.
Thanks BigMac for supporting me, after Evans had to face some non cancelled stages in the 3rd week.
