[RedheadDane]

Nobody keeping this updated?

Dumoulin and Landa both out.
And didn't Planckaert win something too?

Planckaert is still in as far as I know (and I'll be posting an update on Monday BTW).

 

[RedheadDane]

I'm sure I read something about Planckaert winning something...
Though, might have been Edward...

 

[StephenC2020]

Zakarin and Stuyven look like they'll be moving to the top after the Giro

Re: Re:

The boy Sevilla is out. Haas and, in particular, Sbaragli, making the most of the Giro.

I expect Zaka and Pozzo to make a big surge during the Giro as well.

This is looking good.

[Tank Engine]

Zakarin and Pozzo made great advances. I thought Zakarin would win a stage (he did get a couple of second places).

Benoot and Naesen very successful in Belgium.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Berto still looking good for the win

Re:

Calm down, he will win le tour

Maybe he realised he was gonna get the lead in this one, and therefore decided to leave the stage wins.

 

[valentius borealis]

I wonder if Team Coop will get enough invites to give August Jensen a chance. He managed to finish in the top 10 of every stage (and GC) of the Tour of Norway and the Tour des Fjords.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Two 11th places for Contador on the final day of the Dauphiné, that's a big hit to his chances in this competition

Re:

I think contador will win this

I said this in february

 

[RedheadDane]

Well, Fuglsang is out.

2.2 races don't count, right? Coz the aforementioned August Jensen won a stage in Oberösterreichrundfahrt.

They don't count.

I don't see how Benoot can lose this competition.

He didn't score any top-10's this Dauphiné, which means Contador gains 3 more on him

Re: Re:

Nobody expected him to score top10s in this race. But his consistency is unbelievable for a 23 years old rider.
I don't buy the Contador hype for this competition. He'll win a race. As will Ion and Zakarin. Biggest threats to Benoot could be Naesen and Pozzovivo.

I wouldn't be so sure Ion, Zaka and Contador will win something. Ion is one of the favorites to win Suisse, I guess, but what will Zaka and Contador win? Zaka a stage at the Vuelta? Contador a stage at the Tour? All 3 aren't frequent winners at all. Sure they might win, but I wouldn't write them off for this competition.

 

[Forever The Best]

Contador looks in a prime position to win this competition.
