Just a feeling but I think Mollema is going to be the big surprise on the Agliru. He likes it steep, just get his rythm and timing right and I lke his chances on Sunday.

Dekker_Tifosi said:Interview in De Telegraaf pretty much confirms what I thought. Mollema was on a lesser day and didn't have the legs he had yesterday (appearently felt super there).
But when he heard Nibali was dropped he just fixated himself on Wiggins wheel and he was glad he held on.
Tomorrow a real test. I hope he has better legs again. Otherwise Angliru could be costly
