After 3rd restday, Who will win the 2014 Giro?

[Escarabajo]

Ok. People thought that they had it figured it out after the stage 15. So go ahead make your prediction:

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Evans for the win.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Still belive in Quintana, but "the angel" climbed like an angel today. Oh what the heck. Aru for the win!

 

[The Hitch]

If i had to pick its Quintana, becuase he's getting enough time on Uran that if it continues he should make the whole 3 minutes.

I'd have him over Aru because a) he's more experienced, b) he should still get stronger as he recovers from injury and c) the altitude.

Tuesday's stage is by far the most important of this race and probably all year. If Uran loses anything less than 30 seconds he's looking very good for the overall.

So Quintana and Aru need to push him.

 

[The Hitch]

Evans for the win.

Who knew when Basso wrote "relax" he was refering to the attitude with which he was going to ride the mountains eh.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Quintana, but strange things can happen after the 3rd rest day.

Lots of wheelsucking going on, so I'm really looking forward to the MTT now.

 

[Samson777]

A Vino vote covers the angel as well right?

 

[Zam_Olyas]

lol touche!

 

[BigMac]

Evans for the win.

Pretty much. Cannot see past him.

 

[jens_attacks]

nairo is getting better and better so most likely, he will win. voted aru though

Most important stage in the whole year??? Why?

Bbecause you like Giro more than TDF?

 

[Zam_Olyas]

I can see others winning but think Evans could still win it.

 

[The Hitch]

Because I don't see any one stage at the tdf that stands out as a gc decider for that race as much as this one does here.

 

[DenisMenchov]

This stage will most likely not decide the GC. It will probably eliminate a contender or two, but the showdown will be on the Zonc.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I think Uran knows what he is doing... it'll be close

 

[Red Rick]

It's gonna be really close, but Aru winning would be amazing

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Aru winning would actually come rather close to the greatest grand tour of all time.

 

[scholar]

Beyond a strong sense that it's between Uran, Quintana and Aru, I really don't know. The best thing: I'll be happy whichever of them wins. And there's some great racing ahead of us.

I was sure I'd vote for Quintana. But I've just found myself going for Uran.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Aru winning would be absolutely awesome

 

[phanatic]

Aru winning would actually come rather close to the greatest grand tour of all time.

If he beats the Colombians, does he achieve Pantani level fame, or only if he does it by attacking over the Cima Coppi?

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

what about both?

 

[Them Bones]

I'd say that there is only one guy who can afford even a mediocre day and still win, and that's Uran. All of the chasers (top 6) need to be on top on every single day (excluding the flat stage) that's left.

So Uran for me.
Cheering for Nairo though.

 

[Hartog]

Great Giro so far, with so many riders still able to win it.

Uran: in the pink and has a decent lead.
Quintana: getting better every stage and clawing back time.
Aru: if he can replicate today's climbing form in stages to come, he could upset the whole thing. In previous mountain stages he did well, too.

Majka, Evans and Pozzovivo still able to take it, but I think the other three stand more of a chance. We've seen too many riders losing time so far, though, so I wouldn't rule them out completely.

 

[hfer07]

How strong can get Nairo in the last week, having a 2:40 deficit to overturn it?




...all I can see here is that we'll have a Pantani-Tonkov like duel between Nairo & Rigoberto on the Zoncolan

 

[Ruby United]

This last week has the potential to be the most exciting last week of a grand tour over the past few years.

Nairito ftw, uran 2nd...
