Eve of Giro poll: Who will wear pink in Milan.

[The Hitch]

Sorry Parrulo for no Machado, (hed be there if I had more options) and maybe Kreuziger should have been there above Sastre, but I felt, that if Carlos can manage to put last year behind him this course is definitely suited for him

Edit: DOH!!!!!

A true Homer simpson moment. I somehow managed to put Kreuziger in there instead of Sastre anyway. Scratching my head now.

 

[luckyboy]

Going with who I want to win.

 

[jens_attacks]

Going with who I want to win.

yeah me too.no chance for danilo but still he has my vote.if contador will get it,i hope it will be hard not just a walk in the park.

 

[Eshnar]

1. Contador (but struggling)
2. Menchov
3. Nibali
4. Scarponi
5. Anton/Rodriguez

 

[The Hitch]

All i know is that Nibali is not beating Scarponi.

 

[roundabout]

Who will finish second would make a better poll

 

[taiwan]

I was looking for the less obvious pick, and I got to considering Sastre...

So that's my "other".

 

[Eshnar]

All i know is that Nibali is not beating Scarponi.

Imho he can (though it's a close call)
He looked better today in LBL, so I guess its shape is increasing. While Scarponi is strong since T-A. Scarponi is surely better in the mountains, but Nibali isn't bad either. And he's got the final ITT for him.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

1. Rujano
2. Duarte
3. Soler

 

[mewmewmew13]

I think Nibal smelled blood last year....I'm picking him!
...although I still think it's a bit too early to make a pick....

 

[Parrulo]

i have gone with contador even tho my heart wanted me to pick the other

Tiago "the other" Machado as i will call him from now on

p.s. its ok hitch XD

 

[Havetts]

1. Rujano
2. Duarte
3. Soler

I see what you did there.

Voted Menchov.

 

[palmerq]

Good to see a tour de france champ in his prime go to the giro and take on the italians, but I voted for scarponi :S

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Agree that a "who will come second" poll might be more interesting.

These are my picks:

1. Contador
2. Scarponi
3. Menchov
4. Nibali
5. Anton
6. Rodriguez
7. Rujano
8. Machado
9. Pozzovivo
10. Kreuziger

Perhaps just as interesting: who will be the surprise of this Giro?

 

[plooton]

All i know is that Nibali is not beating Scarponi.

All I know - alle the above mentioned are pretty strong riders

 

[Kvinto]

obviously it's Scarponi

 

[plooton]

But voted for Pistolere anyway

 

[User Guide]

voted conti(sigh), but hoping scarponi and menchov have good form to make it interesting

 

[Ryaguas]

1. Rujano
2. Duarte
3. Soler

Hahahaha PWND!

Mah... Hitch come on... put all the nicknames in their native languages!
Il Killer <----- this way is better
Il Squalo
Plz!
For Rujano what about using "Pepe" for him?
and my pick......
Contadooooooorrrrr! Contadooooorrrrrr! Contadorrrrrr!
I'll be singing this a lot of times during this Giro even If He is 1h back in the GC

Contador + Dolomites = Massive genocide in the peloton

BTW... Contador was 3-4 days in Italy and made recon to Marmolada, Zoncolan and the descent of Crostis
oh and today was in Glocknerhaus...
uhhhhhhh... Now We know where the hammer will fall

 

[metaCYCLE]

no one picked Anton? well he gets my vote lads.

 

[Escarabajo]

I have no clue who is going to win.

That's why I didn't vote.

 

[Eshnar]

btw Hitch... You DO know you mistyped Scarponi's and Di Luca's names, didn't you?

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

I voted for Nibbles, maybe because I want him to win. Actually, I'll take anyone over Contador. I'd rather not have DiLuca win either, though I do like his style.

How come Scarponi didn't get his nickname? “Zapatero”.

 

[roundabout]

In this Giro it's Vincenzo "The Sardine" Nibali.

 

[hrotha]

I didn't want to vote for Contador because that'd be too easy. The next logical step would be to vote for Menchov or Nibali, the most successful GT riders left, but I had a sudden epiphany and voted for Scarponi, even though I'd hate it if he won.
