Best domestique, Giro 2013

[The Principal Sheep]

The top three mentioned so far seems to be Niemec, Agnoli and Kangert, in truth there will probably be another rider off camera whose been killing himself everyday all over Italy in the service of a sprinter or rider whose sitting in 20+ spot but from what I've seen I'd have to say Kangert & Agnoli then Niemec whose not had to work half as hard for Scarponi as the Astana boys have for Nibali.

Di Luca I think..Best domestique being in a breakaway group when Santambrogio cracked :kisses toodles:

Di Luca is funny, he somehow managed to steal bonus seconds away from santa his race leader.

If it's the sacrifice thing, Kangert. if it's about performance, Niemiec. Kangert has pulled for a century, as Niemiec doesn't need to pull such a lot. So he has better results in the mountains. I can't really tell who is better in general.

Steegmans and Agnoli are impressive as you guys have recommended.
Mezgec was a key domestique when Degenkolb was there and after Dege abandoned Mezgec is also incredible on his own. Mezgec also reduced my bias about Continential-sweepers. He is still 24 and has ample room to develop. Meersman of Argos imo.

I would say that Uran and Henao have sacrificed their ambitions more than any other domestique.

Henao has been very sick, he hasnt sacrificed anything as he'd been in poor shape all Giro.

Uran if did not wait for Wiggins, would had been 2nd now.

However, he still got a stage win and has a reasonalbe chance tomorrow to get that 2nd back.

I don't thnik they sacraficed a lot. If Wiggins was here in top shape, that'd be different of course.
