[Netserk]

you can pick three options , if you want to pick two or three who are not among the named options , please just pick other / vino and specify who your pick is in this thread

stage overview by @ammattipyoraily after the recent minor update of the stages . stage 2 , 6 and 11 most affected

Jonas and Almeida should lock the top 2 (in that order). Pellizzari is clearly improving and should take the remaining podium spot.

I think if Almeida is not good for podium and AYates is, he could realistically podium if his shape is good

 

[Netserk]

felix gall looks on track to be the second strongest rider uphill

maybe he can convert that to fifth in gc

 

[Tim Cahill]

Gall I'm afraid will look crazy strong in some long alpine stages then one random day we will look round and think where's Gall and he finishes 8 minutes down.

 

[Berniece]

Vingegaard the obvious pick. I don’t see Almeida getting ready, hope Pellizzari grows further like he did all season long, with Landisimo closing the podium

 

[Krzysztof_O]

If Almeida's issues continue this could be super one-sided race. I won't vote until just before the Giro though.

8 minutes with Vingegaard in may as well be a podium though.

1. Landa
2. Gee
3. Hindley

i have made it so that you can change your votes until the race starts

 

[Mayomaniac]

Fishy, the Italian Skulltaker and the Gallacticos option!

 

[Potomac]

I'm only picking two for now. I will pick my third closer to the start date.

Vingigogaard
Carapaz


Waiting for Almeida to show something

It will naturally depend on whether Storer manages to peak at the right time or not.

I know Landa is targeting the GC, but I would rather see him stage hunt there as well, like he's supposed to do at the Tour. It will increase his chances of getting a victory this year, and by being in breakaways he could end up around the same place in GC he would be getting anyway.

Vingegaard, Pellizzari, Storer
