Battle of the Super Domestique - Giro 2011

[just some guy]

Love a Super Domestique me.

Will be interesting who wins the "battle" here as well

My Favorite - Sylvester Szmyd

Who will play the lead role ?

Be of interest how Carlos Sastre fills the role as well.

[greenedge]

lol at Schleck being contador's domestique. Is syzmd doing the giro?? It will probably be a SBS rider. They will have to control the whole race practically i think. The riders are'nt really here come back to it for TDF.

 

[Liquigas]

Sastre will be a good domestique for Menchov

There is absolutely no way Killer being super domestique for Purito

Or super- in general i reckon...

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Przemysław Niemiec.

 

[koolkinks]

I think this guy would be up there. He was a beast at the last Giro. Not Sella the other fella.

 

[dlwssonic]

how about this guy one the talents for italian cycling.

 

[will10]

Sella, Rujano, Serpa, who knows who'll be leader there. F Masciarelli should be a key man

unfortunately il killer will be a domestique for purito.it will break my heart once again after vino riding in support of alberto but that's pro cycling i guess...

 

[markene2]

Niemiec and Duarte will do good.

 

[Ibanez]

Navarro. He was great at the tour last year, and the onus is on SBS to control the race.

 

[ISDfan]

Popovych this time is not going to be a domestique , he will be team leader like in old times in Landbouwkrediet - Colnago .

 

[will10]

Let's wait until he gets dropped horribly on the first mountain stage til we start comparing to the 2003/2004 days of Popo

 

[The Hitch]

Niemiec, Kiserlowski, Szmyd, Serpa.

Spillack?

I expect a lot of the others - Duarte, Sella, Sastre Di Luca to be attacking rather than dragging their leaders which is different.

 

[jens_attacks]

Popovych this time is not going to be a domestique , he will be team leader like in old times in Landbouwkrediet - Colnago .

hahaha that would be too good.i doubt it though.machado is an uber-talent.

 

[Sylvester]

Anton will need him badly.

 

[Ferminal]

Popovych this time is not going to be a domestique , he will be team leader like in old times in Landbouwkrediet - Colnago .

I hope so. Popo's last hurrah.

 

[taiwan]

As I unerstand it, a superdomestique usually rides in a leadership role Therefore Szmyd is excluded and my top 5 is:

Di Luca
Sella
Bruseghin
Duarte
Machado

His native language might not be Spanish or Italian, but here's one mountain domestique who's very likely to be super, seeing as how he climbs exceptionally well and has absolutely no disciplinary issues when it comes to doing team work:

Maybe he'll be superdomestiquing from the couch, as he's not selected for the Giro.

Was going to say the same thing

CAS also pulls the best pain face as well Will have to wait till the TDF

 

[ergmonkey]

Oh, man. I thought they were going full-tilt for this Giro?!

I thought of checking the start list before posting, but then I figured no way they could leave The Ox at home...
