Majka for stage hunting.

 

[saganftw]

1.Landani
2.Nibali
3.Valverde

the rest will be mostly irrelevant riding not to loose top 10

 

[Alexandre B.]

Péraud to pull a Horner.

 

[Red Rick]

Peraud clearly lacks the experience to pull a Horner

 

[Brullnux]

Before the Giro Del Trentino, I'd have said Nibali. Now I'm so sure. I'll make a prediction after Stage 5.

Kittel best sprinter until after Stage 3, then Greipel, Viviani, Modolo, Ewan and Nizzolo can battle it out.

 

[doperhopper]

Shouldn't we have another poll?

Landa's winning margin:

1. less than 1 minute
2. 1-3 min
3. more than 3 minutes

 

[Laplaz]

1. Nibali
2. Landa
3. Valverde
4. Zakarin
5. Uran
6. Chavez
7. Dumoulin
8. Kruiswijk
9. Majka
10. Firsanov

The battle for the white jersey could be very interesting... i don't see favourites, but maybe Formolo or Jungels.

 

[god.child]

1. NIbali
2. Uran
3. Zakarin

Gorrila dominating the sprints.

 

[staubsauger]

1. Landa
2. Zakarin
3. Valverde
4. Fuglsang
5. Majka, Uran or Dombrowski

Red jersey: Kittel, Greipel, Modolo or Marcezko

Greipel won't have his train at the Giro, I don't think that he'll win more than one stage.

He's not going to win..

Greipel's also recovering from that bad rib injury. Kittel v Viviani; Kittel will win the Holland stages, Viviani will take the red jersey. Jungels for white.

 

[Nirvana]

Jungels for the withe jersey, one of the guys of Bardiani for the blue and an italian sprinter for the red (because of other top sprinter will retire halfway, Kittel after stage 3 ).

Someone who knows what the weather will be for most of the Giro? Might chance some aspects.

Way to early to make any predictions, those long time weather forecast are usually not very reliable.
