I don't know, to have a new thing to discuss and by now also simply tradition I guess, isn't there always this poll the last years on restdays?

Martinez has been superb, but due to his crash at Strade, he DNF'd Tirreno and hasn't raced since March the 9th. At some point, I think this will catch up with him?
O'Connor has looked strong and in the third week, could have best climbing doms aside from UAE. And very much buying into the Arensman losing time deliberately strategy. My pick for 3rd spot, with the caveat that this may be hampered by a bit of inter-team rivalry with Thomas.

...we live in a civilisation on very finite time, on a planet with finite resources and a dying biosphere, so mere competition is a thing of the past, and cooperation is the new way foreward? So Hinault-LeMond hand in hand finishes forever now?

Because things changed? For example Bardet isn't a real contender anymore, makes sense to change your opinion after a full week of racing.

The question is: will Teddy perform another solo ride during the Giro? I thought Prati di Tivo would be it but they opted for another solution. Maybe only UAE controlled stages and sprint victories from now on to save as much energy as possible for the Tour.

Rogla should be proud of his successor.
Last year by this time: Why doesn't anybody attack.
This year: Why is Pogi attacking all the time.
Hard to please the cycling fans.

I really hope Arsenberg makes an appearance. I would be shocked but not too bothered about the lack of high mountains just to see Pozzo attacking the Arensberg one time.

Voted for Einer Rubio cuz that's what this race needs and deserves.
I guess this a taste of how things were in the ancient days of Eddie Murks when most of the peloton were amateurs... people deceived into thinking domination indicates all-time greatness but in reality it's only because the most accomplished competition is an ageing former 3rd rate classics rider.
The main difference is that the current dominator will convincingly lose in July to a salmon manufacturer and we'll be told this is the best it's ever been.

PDBF...
Dan Martin at 16", Froome and Ritchie at 20", then Bardet at 24", a group at 26", Simon, Uran, and Contador. Quintana is 9th at 34", and Geraint beats Mentjes and Majka to round up the top-10.
What a win! And it was Aru's last win.
This is what Rogla would have been if he’d started as a kid instead of an adult.

Now it‘s Bardet and Zana instead of Arensman and Hirt in the Top 10, doesn‘t change much for Fortunato. But ok, if you go by odds, that is irrelevantHappy now?
