Giro d'Italia 2022 Giro d'Italia: Who is going to win? First rest day poll.

Both list and order of options are derived from oddschecker*

Pre-race poll: https://forum.cyclingnews.com/threads/2022-giro-ditalia-who-is-going-to-win-pre-race-poll.37807/

*When I view it, Bardet is missing there for some reason, so I've used bet365 instead.

I've stayed with Carapaz for now--still early after just 3 stages. The TT looked great for Yates, but not enough has happened yet to lead me to switch picks. I'd be happy for a lower-tier contender to surprise with the win, though.

 

[Red Rick]

Yates.

 

[Netserk]

Yates.

First cross-voter detected. Not long the Dutch hope survived.

Pretty sure the last time I thought Dumoulin could win the Giro was 2019

But everyone always votes what they sincerely believe?

My votes are wishfull thinking 99% of the time every time.

Same-same.

So ... Gotcha!

 

[Bonimenier]

Arensman is still going to win

 

[Netserk]

Hindley is my preferred non-option. Good chance for a top-5.

Unimproved electoral rules.

To have a poll on the rest day?

It's going to have a "significantly" different result than the pre-race poll.

But on a rest day after three stages with no climbing?

That doesn't really make much sense to me.

So why do you think some will change what they voted? Maybe it makes sense (enough) to them.

On what level of significance?

Interesting.
I can see someone changing their vote, but imho it's way too early (unless they voted for Other/Tratnik).

Vincenzo

TGH and Buchmann got six votes between them in the pre-race poll. At least the two who voted for TGH might have changed their minds since.

You've got to be incredibly German to think Buchmann will win the Giro

 

[topcat]

Wilco will balls it up, Mal will have a meltdown, Yates will bonk, Landa will just not have the legs, Carapaz is not in form. So either nobody will win or Nibali will recapture the ineffable and slalom his way to victory.

 

[BigCoward]

Yates was always going to have one stage where he smashed it. Not sure it changes anything that it was in the TT.

 

[Escarabajo]

Why are we doing this so early. More than a rest day is a transfer day.
Nothing has change as to the first day poll, IMHO. Nothing.

The main objective of the GC contenders in the first week is not to be eliminated. That's all.

 

[AlfaLum]

In doubt between Yates and Landa for now. Went for Yates for now after yesterday. They will both be in the top-2 still.

Yep. I changed my vote from Other to Carapaz just because I knew posters would be fooled into changing their votes to Yates based upon 3 meaningless stages.
