Slagter and Kessiakoff should make it a dream top 5
Well, I've got Majka and Kessiakoff too (though not Slagter), so I have some options.
The Cycling News forum is looking to add some volunteer moderators with Red Rick's recent retirement. If you're interested in helping keep our discussions on track, send a direct message to
In the meanwhile, please use the Report option if you see a post that doesn't fit within the forum rules.
Thanks!

greenedge said:The idea of Scarponi not doing the Giro is bad in my mind ( not CQ wise though ). Basso will own Rujano.
Hopefully he can animate the TDF well. I would like to see him try annihilate people in the mountains except for Andy.
Ulissi, Bole, Petacchi, Hondo, Spilak, Malori, Anacona, Niemic and Lloyd i think would be a good team to send to the Giro.
Parrulo said:costa will either ride the tour or no GT at all and focus 100% on the classics this year (ardennes and autumn classics, worlds included ofc) but most likely he will ride the tour
Good pick but that will only happen if Kreuziger wins. If he was on his own maybe.Froome19 said:Kessiakoff should make it a dream top 5
Froome19 said:+100
Edit: Demare & Battaglin will also smash the field in the sprint and hilly stages respectively
Libertine Seguros said:After all, we know that a leaderless Movistar will throw attackers up the road left-right-and-centre, after the carnage they attempted to wreak on the 2011 Vuelta before illness ravaged the team; Marzio Bruseghin was off the front all the time, and of course the 2010 Tour, until Radioshack started shutting down all their attacks for the Teams classification. They're pretty good at giving themselves at least a minor role in GC battles they have no right to be part of.
Indeed, the lack of personal ambitions is an important issue for the riders from East Europe but the thing is there are not needed dramatic improvements to show a better result.Timmy-loves-Rabo said:Kanstantin Siutsou is simply not that good. His Giro placing last year flattered him. At 30 I somehow doubt -while not impossible- dramatic improvements are gooing to happen. Don't kid yourselves.

auscyclefan94 said:Boots! What are you doing?! He's chosen to ride a Grand Tour that has nearly 100km and very few severe mountain stages for a guy who is a climber and an average to mediocre time triallist.
