Giro d'Italia Il Giro d'Italia 2025: Who will win? 3rd rest day poll.

[Netserk]

 

[Berniece]

Ayuso will probably win, but I hope it will be S. Yates

 

[E_F_]

It's still Del Toro isn't it...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Voted Del Toro again, but this time with actual confidence. It very much doesn't feel over yet, though, especially with neither Carapaz nor Bernal seemingly interested in settling for the podium...

 

[Escarabajo]

It is between Del Toro and Isaac!

 

[Escarabajo]

This Giro stays in America, I am afraid!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hates must channel 2003 Jan Ullrich and take advantage of the Hispanic troublemakers Carapaz and Bernal to hit UAE in the 3rd week.

 

[Jan the Man]

Other than del Torro, Carapaz, Gee and Bernal look to the be the ones on an upward trajectory. Ayuso and Yates not to be discounted but Carapaz looks the best of those chasing del Torro and along with Bernal has the knowledge having already won a GT. Great to see Bernal being aggressive but looks a step behind del Torro and Carapaz.

 

[ppanther92]

Picked S. Yates. Preferred option would be Bernal or Del Toro.

 

[Red Rick]

I'll tolerate Gee for the memes.

 

[fenns]

it's between Del Toro and Ayuso - the others (Yates, Bernal, Carapaz) would need to be at their best to catch the 2 UAE riders and they are past their best

 

[Netserk]

Another day where Del Toro looked much better than Ayuso. It now must be his interests that dictate the team's tactics, unlike today where they rode defensively for Ayuso. That will make it harder for Carapaz and Shates to crack him.

 

[Peyroteo94]

I had to change my vote. Roglic is toasted and ready to retirement (probably next year).

 

[Monsi]

Voted for Del Toro last week but I still obviously had doubts. In week 2 though, he has looked like the strongest rider in the race. He was also following the attacks from other GC riders comfortably. Week 3 is a different beast though. Anything can still happen in that hard 3rd week. He can still crack but don't know when that day would come or if it could still come.

 

[E_F_]

Bernal is riding wonderfully well, but he doesn't really seem to be getting anywhere, and 3:38 is just way to much time to make up on a rider who is looking better anyway. I suppose IDT might concievably be overextending himself - and whatever others are saying we still haven't seen him on a ferociously paced true HC in a super tough stage after a long race. But I don't have faith in Carapaz or Yates, so even then I would probably bet on Ayuso taking it - especially through team strength. So the only other option than UAE remains the off chance that Roglic is performing way below his potential, and takes the high seat at what turns out to be a kids' table come Finestre.

 

[SafeBet]

Feeling some strong Carapaz vibes.

 

[ice&fire]

I'll tolerate Gee for the memes.

I'd bet for him to finish second

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I think a podium with Gee, Roglič and Ayuso in any order would show both the yaters and the haters, but Del Toro does look like the strongest now. I don't find it unlikely that Bernal and/or Carapaz will end up dying from their own attacks.

 

[red_flanders]

Del Toro covering everything with ease. Look forward to seeing him in the big mountains. Gets my vote this round.

 

[Blanco]

Del Toro, Yates or Carapaz.

 

[YavorD]

Let's not forget that ironically (or not..) Nibali and Froome also looked beaten after poor stage 15.

I mean, a certain Brit lost exactly the same amount of time as Roglic on stage 15 in 2018.

 

[The fridge in the blue trees]

Carapaz.
Next Del Toro, Ayuso. Actually they might be more likely, but since I like Carapaz...
The Giro starts Tuesday, this was basically a 2 week prologue some crashing thrown in. And today a Roglic-collapse. As good as Del Toro looks, he'll have to show he can do it on actual mountain stages.

Yates? I see Tiberi with better chances than Yates.
Gee: From amazing all terrain escaper in 23 to Top 10 in his first GT GC try in the Tour 24, thought he could be a guy to challenge, second attempt, everything better. Didn't start of well, now seems there, when it really starts. Better chances than Yates too.

 

[Froome]

I guess Visma will win the three GTs this year.

 

[nightowl]

Del Toro looks on another planet compared to everyone else. Obviously anything can happen but I don’t see him being dropped by a big enough margin to lose.

 

[Monsi]

I guess Visma will win the three GTs this year.

That's a kinda different way of spelling UAE
