[ramjambunath]

I'm not great and most of what I know's already answered but I think that in 2010 the three jerseys of the Giro were the Italian tricolour.

 

[maltiv]

I'm surprised that so many of you already have forgotten that Contador won 0 stages at the 2008 Giro Menchov won the long ITT in 2009 by the way.

 

[Ferminal]

I'm surprised that so many of you already have forgotten that Contador won 0 stages at the 2008 Giro Menchov won the long ITT in 2009 by the way.

Yeh, for some reason I thought he won Kronplatz when I answered the question.

'Cept the names the wrong way for Stelvio/Angliru.

 

[Havetts]

21 points, mhm .

 

[The Hitch]

Im not going to do the rest, or not going to post my results anyway since my knowledge on pre 21st century cycling isnt that great but I love the climb challenge.

Obiously one of them is Angliru EASY!!!! (obviously know the gradient outlook of that one well) and I think the short one is Huy.

Since they will no doubt have a Tour climb in there im gussing that the 13k or so is Luz Ardiden, since I know Luz is 13 and it is the shortest of the major Tour HC climbs while Giro HC climbs are way way steeper.

As for the 21k one well it looks like bola with the last 3k being the steepest but they already have Angiliru.

So 20k + climb.
It might be Tourmalet but I think Tourmalet isnt as steep at the top. In Giro Finnestre is too short (about 19k) and steeper and Stelvio is too long - 24k.

So Ill go for Mont Ventoux.
