It's hard to say, really. The main thing in a GT is consistency, and both Porte and Mollema have yet to show that they can be up there every day. If you have a bad day on, say, the Zoncolan, you could lose 15 minutes and say goodbye to the white jersey.jonjungel said:Looking at the young rider classification... There are many names I don't know, but it seems to be a battle between Porte and Mollema. Maybe Rodriguez at 5'. The rest are too far back, I think. Any thoughts on the relative strength of these three?

sublimit said:Yes well done to him..another rider i've never heard of and a great ride. more reading required on him by myself on that one.
i also agree its time for people to get off Vino's back and let him get on with his racing, and that includes me to be fair. **** knows what happened to Sky- a total disaster but they live to fight another day.
Looking for David Millar to grab pink in a couple of days time but Garmin may have lost Vandevelde for the TTT which is not good.

Today there was only 1 semi-big crash, and that was when Team Sky overrated a corner and went too fast...
All the rest was done by the wind. Stop spreading BS please.
