Let's not get ridiculous now. You know as well as I do that he can't climb with the best riders here, as low as the level may be. The three high mountain stages are yet to come. Yesterday's medium mountain stage, because that's what it was, is another matter.jens_attacks said:the level seems so low,kreuziger might even podium.
I'm not sure, he's still doing better than one of the best climbers in superb form18-Valve. (pithy) said:Let's not get ridiculous now.

Who is the second one?18-Valve. (pithy) said:Two of the best climbers, actually.
But there's still Basso, Scarponi, Henao, Purito and Gadret who will almost certainly beat Kreuziger in GC. Maybe a few others, too.

Good is that Tira will work for Roman of course.rxgqgxnyfz said:How is that a good news?..
Funny (or sad) you should say that.Vino attacks everyone said:Vino would have won this giro with minutes...

Vino is expected to come over to Giro in a few days.

Yeah but even without improving Kreuziger has always been a reliable top 10 machine, producing wholly unspectacular and forgetable results. Consistency was his saving grace. At least if you signed him you knew he'd be up there scoring you some points, even if ultimately nothing came out of it.Ryo Hazuki said:he hasn't improved in years.

I guess having a truly bad day is not the end of the world, but I wasn't expecting something like this.
