I dunno if he will. I'm not even sure this is the right thread to use I was sure he'd have had a thread from the 2012 Giro.
But... there's no doubt he got his toughness from the Scandinavian blood! A Viking is a Viking, even one living over in "Vineland".

I thought we need another poll thread.

Considering his performance today he could take 60s on several riders ahead of him during the MTT. In theory.

No he wont. Quintana, Aru, Uran, Majka, Pozzo and Kelderman are all clearly climbing better than he is. He'll be fighting with Rolland and Evans for a place in the lower top 10

Holy **** that's genius, Eclipse.
He's looking at a nice, comfy top 8. Being behind those young explosive climbers isn't going to help him much, and I think we may have seen him empty the tank today a bit too far today. Then again, he is a zombie. Hopefully he gets some nice rest in the peloton tomorrow.

Hmm, not sure about that (all the above).
But we shall soon see. The MTT will give us the true picture imo.

Hesjedal will suffer in the MTT. He's a terrific rider for multi-mountain stages, but he might be too much of a diesel to close the gap to the podium.

One would think.Dekker_Tifosi said:
However with only 55sec separating third and ninth, there should be some interesting dynamics; all will want to move up which will make it much more difficult for both Quintana and Uran to mark and Movistar/OPQS to control.
