He did Romandie to work on his condition for the giro. Would be very surprising if he doesn't atleast make the 2nd rest day. Besides the pretty strong sprinting field, I'm pretty sure they are aiming for multiple stagewins.

Sebastian Henao said that the Giro wasn't in his plan this year but the Vuelta but Benat and Konig not able to ride weren't in the plans of Team Sky.
Maybe with Nieve in the Giro now, he is out of the Giro

Re:
THis time he'll probably touch Italian soil, but he'll leave after the the ITT (or even right before it), Greipel will probably do the same.Breh said:
Re:
That interview was a long time ago.
But, given his equipment here, I think he's in Colombia, so I guess no Giro.

Maybe sticking with his cousin plan from last year and going to California?

Re: Re:
Plus Modolo, barring accidents/illness, is much more likely to make it to the final day than Kittel, Ewan, and possibly even Greipel. I think it very likely Modolo bags at least one stage win.

It's always worth clarifying with Movistar: that is José, not Jesús, Herrada, and Javier, not Daniel, Moreno.

Re: Re:
I don't think that it is Colombia. Look at the background. There is only one place with snow in Colombia and that is not it.Ricco' said:

Howson is a different type than both Hepburn and Durbridge, Howson certainly has the capabilities to become a capable/dependable climber unlike Hepburn who looks like he can handle hills but nothing more and Durbridge was never going to be a rider for the climbs but is much more suited to the cobbled races and TT/workhorse

Nieve will ride the Giro. Bettini's words in today's gazzeta. I assume he has seen the list Sky has had to put down.
Sky roster just confirmed on Twitter:
Landa
Nieve
Lopez
Roche
Seb. Henao
Knees
Deignan
Viviani
Boswell
Not too bad a team actually, and at least Landa will have Nieve now as his last man in the mountains.

That's a good team, Nieve is a great last man and Sebastian Henao could be great in the 3rd week. Deignan, Boswell and Roche should be there on the hilly/medim mountain stages and work early on in the high mountains.therealthing said:

Yes, Deignan, Boswell and Roche can do a lot of work While Nieve and Seb Henao should both be there in the last 20 guys.
Re: Re:
Possibly. Who knows? He's had some good results but a step up in class here.

Kiryienka is a curious omission. Hasn't raced since Pais-Vasco and normally he would definitely ride the Ardennes so I guess either illness or the vampires got him.
pastronef said:
Yup, although Nieve (and Roche) are actually two riders who have proven they can ride two grand tours in a row well in the past so he still has a chance of making the Tour squad. Much depends on the status of Sergio Henao, Konig and Intxausti by July.
Re: Re:
The absence of a TTT certainly means that one of their usual Giro stage opportunities is out the window. Not real sure they'll be going "all out" with Chaves as there's too much ITT for him. Suspect he'll be more a factor at the Vuelta so I suspect they'll see whether he loses too much time then just look at stage hunting. With Ewan it will most likely be a case of see if he can snag a stage early then drag him after Stage 8 as he'll almost certainly be HD'd on the first reasonable mountain stage.

Re:
Strongest team in the race. Aru, Nibali, Rosa, Kangert, LLS, Tiralongo, Cataldo, Lutsenko and Grivko for the Tour I'd guess which will also be incredibly strong!
