After 1 week, Who will win the giro 2013?

[King Boonen]

Wiggo is though

He is? could have fooled me

 

[airstream]

Andy isn't riding it...

There is ocean of charisma and aesthetics in Andy. Cycling organics of the highest standard.

 

[Froome19]

Who else other than Nibs. It will be a good battle for the other podium places though.

Anyone who manages to outclimb Nibs and has not lost a bucket load of time. Seeing that we have not seen any substantial climbing that means a lot of people still in the frame.

 

[Carols]

Gesink/Wiggins for the win.
Nibali to say uncle at Galibier or... even Télégraphe maybe.

God, save this race from one of the most boring and uncharismatic riders in the peloton.

Wiggins??? Yes please Save us from that most Boring rider. Not boring downhill in wet though

You may not like him, but to say he's boring just borderlines desperation. Boring technique, he may have, but a boring rider?!

What? Are you claiming Bradley isn't boring? How? If the peloton was full of riders like him than no one would watch this sport.

For a moment there I read cycling orgasmics.

Do you mean his cycling technique or him as a person?

 

[the asian]

His riding style (unless ofc descending, where he gives us lots of entertainment)

 

[dhawk97]

I can see why people would find that boring.

re: descending. We've all been there, even pros. So far today you've laughed at him crashing and now his descending in p1ss poor weather....Do you even own a bike?

 

[Christophe]

It's still wide open, but the head says Nibali, the heart says Evans, or Hesjedal attacking his way back in.

OFC. I'm not a good descender in the rain myself (mainly because I wear glasses) But Wiggins is a professional bike rider and descending and bike handling is an essential skill for him to do his job properly, so he better be good at it

Anyway Wiggins himself said that he descended like a girl and the great Eddie said that Wiggins descended like a novice, and it's unacceptable so others agree with me.

Re-the you tube video, it's an old video from 2002 and i certainly don't wish that he crashes, but you'll have to be stone cold if you don't find that video clip humorous.

He is as Boring a bike rider as I've ever seen in 50+ years. I don't care about his personality (which sucks; potty mouth, arrogant). I watch bike racing for the excitement. Only excitement Brad has ever given is in this Giro and it's not good excitement....

 

[Carols]

Well isn't that the truth!!!! Geez Liepheimer was exciting on the bike compared to this guy.

 

[dhawk97]

I don't care about his personality (which sucks; potty mouth, arrogant).

But you wouldn't call it boring would you

I thought that's what the reference was toward, his personality. In terms of his technique, yeah it is very singular. I never use the word boring, just difference in technique. Some people (DQ for one) might find his technique of consistency quite fascinating. (Not saying I do...)

I find his personality obnoxious, but that is just my opinion If you thought that was the reference we are cool.

Yes his style is singular and dreadfully Boring to me Even Indurain Attacked!!!

Hé is one of the most boring riders imo. The way hé won the Tour was yawn. U gotta be British or really a TT geek to think otherwise

Or think that people meant him as a person. For the 3rd time; I can see why people find his riding boring.

Ah ye I really enjoy the wiggo vs Froome and wifes bashing.

Sadly good enough to unsparingly ridicule descending skills of the champion of such a grandiose scale.

Since you have such a low opinion of Nibali and keep moaning that everyone voted for him only because they like him, and keep moaning and keep moaning, why don't you tell us who YOU think will win the giro if not Nibali

I don't know. I'll root for any but him because Nibali is not bright in any GT component. Neither climbing nor TTing. I hope Gesink will win. He suffered a lot because of the crashes and it's his big chance. I strongly dislike a type a GT rider descender.


Btw, someone told that Nibali had a knee injury in Peyragudes stage. I don't believe it. His team gave their 100% on Bales to try to do something. Injured rider would never have ordered things like that.

Please don't quote airstream, the ignore feature is useless if you do. Ta

Voted Nibali.
