Not bad week for a 'transition' week - got the win with my only rider in the HC race (Moser), with Phinney in pink and a decent showing from Landa in the 2.1 race (41 points overall aint bad). The Giro should be interesting, I've got:
Phinney (obviously proven his worth already)
Kreuziger (big hope for podium in this weak field)
Henao (wild card, but could do top 20 for sure)
Brandle (solid all-rounder but won't do much more than collect 20 points for finishing, unless winning from a break)
Modolo (who knows, his sprinting is erratic)
Battaglin
Felline
Pozatto (all 3 could win hilly selective stages or from a break)
Larsson (good for final TT, decent overall usually)
Demare (hopefully he'll do well in sprints at which he's not held up by a crash)
Could move up, but there's not much room to do so, and the teams at the top are pretty solid.
