Arguably the "CUT" should go in between Scarponi and Uran. Uran is a very real podium threat, as each of those above him could pop, but it's hard to see him putting significant time into all four of those above him

 

[greenedge]

He can ITT though ( but yeah you are right ).

Yeah uran is not going to win
but there is.a very small chance robopozzovivo might if he shows the insane legs he had today where a little dig which seemed so comfortable, dropped scarponi for 30 in 500m and had basso and purito gasping for air.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

pozzovivo has way less chance of winning than uran. uran in itt will take 3 minutes alone on him

LOL @ this. So what if he takes 3 minutes on him. That's nothing.

Uran has zero chance of winning because he's not a great climber. Pozzovivo on the other hand has an outside chance because he's capable of dropping everyone in good weather.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

pozzovivo can only taker time on pampeago because it's steep. in stelvio he will suffer because of lenght, altitude and not too steep. that climb is perfect for uran

The Pordoi isn't steep either and Pozzovivo did quite okay there last month. We will see.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

the pordoi he got quite hammered in the end by betancourt and atapuma.

He just didn't sprint, like yesterday

that's quite ridiculous ryo....

pozzovivo really is a better climber than rigo and can drop them all on pampeago...of course if it rains and it's cold you never know...

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

it';s going to be cold -1 on stelvio

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

yesterday was flat. this was in a climb with 500 to go when atapuma went

 

[markene2]

@Ryo, since i lost the avatar bet, you must choose what Rujano picture i will have for a year...

 

[greenedge]

Did the bet include Rujano ( because if so i cannot imagine you losing )?

I feel sad for you.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

it was about kreuziger I think

It was about Kreuziger getting in the top 5.

1st and 3rd place weren't even named in the poll list. How many people expected that one? It was truly a wide open Giro with many surprises. Congratulations again to Ryder.

 

[ElChingon]

I demand a retraction! When Nibali's name was replaced with Schlecks my vote tag stayed with that slot (aka Schleck), I want that removed for the record.
