No need to explain I guess. Who did you see going down most surely? Discuss and nominate.

Di Luca a lesser surprise than Santambrogio? The way Mauro turned into a pure climber during the off-season was incredible.

Mauro. Once we got into July and Sayar wasn't busted I figured he was in the clear as Turkey would be the only time I thought he would have been tested. Rogers I thought was Teflon, and di Luca, well, that wasn't surprising but at the same time while he was attacking all over the place in the Giro, they weren't really significant attacks.

Sayar for me, I figure the top guys cover their tracks a little better. So this positive test was the least surprising.

Sayer, looked pretty obvious to everyone, and then Santambroggio with his sudden huge jump in climbingskills at a relatively high age (despite him being seen as a huge talent when he was young) this season as second.

Di Luca was not a big surprice given his past, but his performance in the comeback wasn't exactly pointing towards clear doping, it could just as well have been interpreted as if he was back clean since he was nowhere near his old doped level so I don't see why he leads this poll.

Santambrogio, because it was so blatantly obvious right away at Tirreno-Adriatico. I actually thought there was a chance that Di Luca was clean.

Santa coming out of nowhere as a GT "talent".... but we still have 5 days this year to catch Horner, who automatically would become the obvious choice.

Unless of course Froome gets caught as Well. Then we'll have a Real contest. Pretty obvious both of them.

The least surprising positive of 2013 is... Di Luca!
Thanks to all for voting!
