No it wouln't.auscyclefan94 said:An Evans GC win...if he does, it would be hard to argue against him being the best all-round rider of his generation bar Cancellara.
Netserk said:No it wouln't.
Valverde.
He has served his two years (more in fact with the Italian ban), so that's a poor argument.auscyclefan94 said:He shouldn't have even been racing in many of his big victories anyway. I find his record mostly irrelevant anyway when he has shiftily moved around the system when he should have been not racing.
Samson777 said:Basso to dominate the race and win overall GT.
-Gerdemann to win a stage.
-Yellow Fluo to win at least one stage.
Ruudz0r said:Now that is hopeful, your hoping for a last minute transfer? or a last minute wildcard change?
Netserk said:No it wouln't.
Valverde.
movingtarget said:Evans has got a much better GT record than Valverde and in the short stage races they have both done well. Valverde much better in the one day races. Evans has the worlds win, Valverde has two placings. Hard to separate them I think. For me the Worlds and three Tour podiums including a win possibly give the edge to Evans.

Tournesol said:All i hope for is Purito finally wins a GT.
TANK91 said:Fabio Aru to top 5 and be the next Italian Giro winner who as not won it yet. He will dominate the Giro imo in future. I feel he will be similar to most Italian GT riders who win the Giro where they never do much in the TDF.
Vino attacks everyone said:Astana is set in the future with Aru in the giro, Landa in the Vuelta, nad Lutsenko in the classics![]()
