Giro d'Italia 2023 Giro d'Italia: Who is going to win? Pre-race poll.

[tobydawq]

My knee says Nibali.

 

[tobydawq]

RhD probably picks Oldani because he starts with 'Old'.

 

[Netserk]

Toby picks Thomas confirmed.

Oh, wait! You pick Foss, obviously.

 

[Berniece]

Did Remco beat Buitrago by more than 5 minutes in the Vuelta's ITT?

Yes, but maybe that was because Buitrago didn't went all out

 

[topcat]

Our conductor says Caruso.

 

[OlavEH]

Have Inoes said anything about who'll be their captain? Or will they deceide as they go?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

So I voted for Roglic as the man has ice in his veins and can get all those bonus seconds on the climbs

If Roglic win il Giro on bonus seconds I will retire from watching cycling.

I hope that Fausto Masnada and Mirco Maestri can get stage wins. But honestly I'm no sure if Fausto should even be at the Giro (or if he will be there). He clearly has health problems

If Pinot, Caruso or Pozzovivo can get the top 5 I will also be happy

Hart has the number 1 plate, but I read an interview with Matteo Tossato last week and he seemed to imply it's all about Thomas.
As you say, decide as they go along.

We'll get a preview of how the Giro might pan out during the snooker WC final today and tomorrow where a former teenage sensation from Belgium, who's been accused of having had surprisingly weak oppostion at times on his way to the final, is up against a man more than 10 years his senior, who has a playing style that some people find rather boring.

A magnificently torturous analogy

 

[Ilmaestro99]

If Luca Brecel wins:

"This has been a Mickey Mouse tournament" -illmaestro99

I would never watch a snooker mate.

 

[Escarabajo]

I just noticed how powerful the Baharain team is. Wow! This team can be the Kelme os the 2000's.

Startlist for Giro d'Italia 2023

None of these riders ar in the poll but 3 or 4 can be top 10.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Not about the overall winner, but i just read that AG2R changed plans for Gall at the last minute and are now sending him to the Tour instead of the Giro.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

According to Snooker logic, Remco is going to win this race.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

According to Snooker logic, Remco is going to win this race.

... after almost collapsing from a seemingly secure position. So basically the 2005 Giro. I could live with that...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

According to Snooker logic, Remco is going to win this race.

Or maybe Valverde will enter the Giro last minute and win, despite the fact that he's been partying hard out every night in the run-up to the race? Brecel's receding hairline can definitely match Bala's.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Some say Luca Brecel is like the Ryder Hesjedal of snooker

 

[Red Rick]

According to Snooker logic, Remco is going to win this race.

Nah it only confirms he's gonna beat Geraint Thomas.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Nah it only confirms he's gonna beat Geraint Thomas.

Did Snooker Roglič crash out? Who‘s the best Slovenian in Snooker?

 

[rallybanana]

Nah it only confirms he's gonna beat Geraint Thomas.

Selby has won the most prestigious tournament in snooker 4 times. Only one British cyclist can be used in this analogy. Remco to beat Froome at TdF 2024.

 

[rallybanana]

According to Snooker logic, Remco is going to win this race.

When people say Remco is the new Eddy Merckx do they actually mean Eddy Merckx the billiards player?

 

[johnymax]

I actually think Ineos and UAE have the best teams, but Jumbo and SOQ have the best GC leaders obviously. Should be fun. May the best man, Roglič, win!

IMO Bahrain is up there with UAE and Ineos. Caruso, Haig, Mäder, Buitrago, that's a lot of firepower when the road goes uphill.

Felix Gall goes to the Tour de France instead of the Giro d'Italia!

Dombrowski rides the Giro d'Italia after all.

no Masnada either. Pieter Serry got the call instead
