yeah, forgot.Yellow he could lose, but seems pretty hard to lose the white one. Almeida is 2nd in youth classification right now.

Nah man I'll use the superpower of hindsight this time.How long until you guys realize he is the favorite for the Giro? After he wins Tirreno?
I think most people think he's "a" favorite. "The" favorite is harder, because we've never seen him race 3 weeks and he's really young. But you could certainly be right, and who would bet against him at this point?How long until you guys realize he is the favorite for the Giro? After he wins Tirreno?
For the bookies and success fans perhaps.Remco now the favorite for the Giro.
To win? I would absolutely take that bet.I think most people think he's "a" favorite. "The" favorite is harder, because we've never seen him race 3 weeks and he's really young. But you could certainly be right, and who would bet against him at this point?

To be fair, the Belgian media is not "expecting" him to do anything, but after decades of drought (in this department), they (and Belgians in general) are simply ecstatic and enthusiastic. They hope he will be a new GT winner, but he wouldn't be ostracized if he would fail (like last year in Romandie).What is one CN forum poster vs the entirety of Belgium media.
Him not winning simply depends on him failing in the mountains or pure recovery, in which case it's quite likely more riders could beat him.Carapaz and maybe Nibali and Yates are his only challengers in my opinion
