After 1 week, Who will win the giro 2013?

[Dazed and Confused]

If Scarponi cracks another time before Niemiec Lampre should change their strategy. Niemiec was very strong today, without his help Michele would have lost more time. Niemiec was riding in the Nibali group when he was called back to pull Scarponi. Helping Scarponi costed him already more than a minute in this Giro I do not know if Lampre is playing the right card

None of them looked particular strong, Niemiec was dropped on the first climb iirc. Otherwise I agree, Niemiec should not have dropped back on the last climb, there were enough riders from other teams to create a little defensive group which Scarponi could have used to limit the gap.

Anyway Lampre needs to deploy the two guys more offensively moving forward.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't.

maybe Niemiec was about to drop anyway and that's why he waited for Scarponi straight after he did.

Niemiec wasn't dropped on the first climb, that I am 100 % sure, maybe he had some problems downhill but not on the climb
