This topic is about FUTURE gt winners. People who have not won a GT yet but might in the future.
Hence, Nibali is not in this poll and Kreuziger (and Andy) are.

theyoungest said:There's a different between "talent" and "future GT winner". That's all I'm trying to say. But who knows, if Peter Velits can get so close to winning a GT, why not Porte. I just don't see it happening (and FYI, like Dekker T, I don't see Mollema or Kruijswijk winning any GTs either).
This thread is about future GT winners. That's probably why Nibali isn't mentioned: he already is a GT winner.hfer07 said:I find it strange everybody ignores Nibali & keep touting Kreuziger...the fact is that Vincenzo is already a GT winner and that victory is a catalyst for further development & ambition -- Andy Schleck to me is still a project, since he hasn't won a GT yet- even with his enormous talent, I see him wasting his career trying to beat Contador, when he can easily win the Giro or the Vuelta if he widens his horizon
I hope Igor Anton gets that level to shine in the coming GTs- Porte is a great prospect to the future, as well as Rigoberto Uran--and we cannot deny Ricco even if we can't tolerate his presence....
theyoungest said:I just noticed how few votes Cadel Evans got... two time Tour de France runner-up vs. guy who crashed out of a few Vueltas: 3 votes vs. a heck of a lot.
(BTW I voted for Anton as well, not for Evans, but I feel there's a little bit of hype involved here)
jaylew said:Interesting that Anton is getting twice the votes Sanchez is. He can't TT with him, it's debatable if he can climb with him, and has shown a problem staying upright. My only guess is that people are assuming that SS will ride the TdF and Anton the Vuelta in coming years.
Next year is an odd year.
2007: 3rd
2009: 2nd
2011: ??

Francois is the incarcarated Don.
DekkerT is the acting boss.
Youngest is the consolgieri
Barrus is the crooked cop.
You Kwibus and the rest are just pawns.
The acting Boss spoke and now Gesink is getting 50% of votes.
Just like he spoke and Stage 6 won stage of the year. And he only had to say the word and Mosquera won the poll of "who will win the Vuelta".

Why a definite "no" for Sammy Sanchez, and a definite "yes" for Anton? I'd say Sanchez has proven that he's got what it takes, Anton has never shown that he can be up there for three weeks (although mainly because he couldn't stay on his bike). If both were to start the Vuelta next year, both of them without the Tour in their legs, I'd put my money on Sanchez.Jan the Man said:Andy Schleck - Yes
