Half way through, who wins the Vuelta?

[Afrank]

We're halfway through the Vuelta, and who's on form, who's off form, and who could improve has become clear. So, halfway through, who will emerge the winner?

 

[Afrank]

I say Nibali, he's looked good so far. Calm and in control. By the 3rd week, if everything goes according to plan, he will be in top form.

 

[myrideissteelerthanyours]

you cant corner the horner

 

[The Hitch]

I say Nibali.

Though I recall going into the last mountain stage of the vuelta 2 years ago 75% of the forum said Nibali too.

But I can't see lightening striking twice. Hes a better rider than he was last year and with the worlds in sight I dont think hell lose form,

 

[Pippo_San]

I believe in Ivanhoe.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Not many votes for the spanish "sub 1km to go"-climbers

 

[jens_attacks]

horner but i hope basso can challenge him

 

[therhodeo]

Given the difficulty of the parcours I would say that we'll see some bad days and shake ups before its over. I say its still wide open.

 

[Netserk]

I say Nibali.

Was there anyone who thought he could win after Angliru???

 

[Hugo Koblet]

If we get a podium of Basso, Nibali and Horner I don't really care who wins Anyway, I believe in Horner.

 

[The Hitch]

No. And?

10 c

 

[Netserk]

No. And?

10 c

Then why would 75% think he would win before Peña Cabarga?

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Voted Horner. As bad as it is for cycling...

 

[hfer07]

Nibali to conquer his 3rd GT and continue to be underrated by many here in the CN forums

 

[Red Rick]

Then why would 75% think he would win before Peña Cabarga?

That wasn't a mountain stage, it was just a Unipublic stage

 

[Netserk]

That wasn't a mountain stage, it was just a Unipublic stage

Did you see the Angliru stage? That was a Unipublic stage.

 

[The Hitch]

Then why would 75% think he would win before Peña Cabarga?

They didn't.

I said "mountain stage" not "medium mountain dribble with a hill finish."

 

[jsem94]

Nibali will win.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Nibali is looking better with every day and he could be near his peak by week 3. I hope Basso and Pinot continue to improve and podium. I don't want Valverde or Purito to win unless they stop their antics...

 

[Ferminal]

Papy v ET hopefully but credit to Nibali if he's good enough.

 

[Lord Stanley]

Lo Squalo AINEC

 

[RedheadDane]

Obviously nobody is gonna win halfway through!

I have no ****ing clue!

 

[Rollthedice]

Nibali looks good considering he is not yet in top form. After today's ITT things will become clearer. Though Basso is very strong he's too far, it seems superhuman that Horner can survive the Pyrenees, Purito will loose again time in the ITT and he has the TdF in his legs, Roche can't possibly hang in the stage finishing at Peyragudes and Angliru. I think it's between Nibali and Valverde.

 

[Moviefan1203]

I would love to see Horner win, the guy deserves it. But ultimately I think Nibali will take the crown.
