Giro d'Italia Il Giro d'Italia 2026: Who will podium?

[Red Rick]

With Joãout, changing my third vote to Hindley.

Hindley being able to make a pointless attack in Liege is an ominous sign for the Giro.

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

Carapaz out, for *** sake

I have reluctantly and with great sadness changed my vote to Derek Gee.

Unfortunately, the feeling is that Derek Gee is likely to be nominated for worst signing of the season.

Ayuso vs Gee, the real battle of 2026.

Vingegaard to win (barring an accident) and whoever is not stupid to try and chase him down will come 2nd and 3rd. (probably a couple of UAE guys). Hoping Lenny VE can get through the Giro without mishaps or illness.

 

[Netserk]

time for felix gall to win this bike race

 

[Tim Cahill]

I’m not one to wish ill on anyone, but if Vingegaard can miss his plane or bang his toe doing carpentry then this could be the funniest GC battle of the decade.

With Almeida gone probably Landa or Carapaz.

Has Landa recovered properly from his crash?

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

According to this information, Caparaz won´t be going to the Giro either.

We can't have good things.

What has happened to Carapaz since Finestre 2025. It's like there's was a before and after.

That's what he always does.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

1. Landa
2. Gee
3. Hindley

There is still time for the whole forum to get onboard with my prediction.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I’m not one to wish ill on anyone, but if Vingegaard can miss his plane or bang his toe doing carpentry then this could be the funniest GC battle of the decade.

The field is weak enough now that Bora would probably just wind up dominating instead.

Poor Adam Yates signed his final big money contract to spend 3 years doing some pulls on the mountains and having fun winning 2.1s, now gotta try and motivate himself for a GT podium bid

Reluctantly he is my current pick for "other", even though I'd like to convince myself that it will be Bernal.

Looking at who's on the startlist, depending on what form he brings, podium should be very possible.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Well. That's a bummer. I'm going for Vingegaard, Pellizzari and Gall. Arensman as a dark horse.

 

[Summoned]

Vingegaard to win, Pellizari second, Bernal third.

Yeah, this is about to become just as horrible a Giro as last year.
I don't wish ill on him either, so let's just hope that somewhere next week he'll announce that after a hard and taxing spring campaign, he decided to spend more time with his family.

Hindley and Pellizzari hardly have the track record that make you fear for dominating the Giro.

I feared as much, but this sucks hard.

All GC riders equally mid + one team obviously better = worst race imaginable.
