Who will be the big surprise/revelation of the next Giro D'Italia?

[Froome19]

Dombrowski. The only Sky rider on the list.

In all seriousness he is immensely talented and I cant wait to see what he does. In terms of who I would chose if I was betting that would probably be Duarte or Betancur. Duarte maybe inconsistent but he does seem pretty good and Betancur is class. The others may be better in the long run but they are mostly in their first/second years of pro racing and have not shown to much on the highest level.

 

[Pentacycle]

he's not a super talent by any means. also he can't climb

That's why I was wondering if he'll even ride, I can't find any decent results. But if he performs it would be a big surprise for sure.

I thought the question was who will be the biggest surprise- so therefore i voted Chaves.

The best young rider i think will be Kelderman- he has gone well at the WT before, he has a good ITT and unlike Dombrowski who will have to work for Wiggins full pelt and probably not be the last man pulling up the climbs, Blanco might allow him some freedom to target the best young riders jersey. Majka will also threaten.

Wackermann if he rides should be good- also Wesley Kreder.

Dombrowski is going to be Wiggins' boy in the high mountains. It's a shame he won't be able to go for a stage win or two, the kid can climb.

he's a good talent. mostly itt, but he won't ride the giro. he's very young

Indeed he can!!! Can't TT for crap yet thoug. Regardless he will be shackled as a Wiggo workhorse

 

[Mad Elephant Man]

If you can pick a good result by a rider now it cannot be a surprise come the Giro.

 

[auscyclefan94]

The fact that there is a poll for who is going to be a big surprise in the Giro ultimately means that the person voted to be the revelation is not really going to be a big surprise because we all expect them to do well.

Anyone else? My english is crappy. Sorry for it. So WHO WILL BE THE BEST YOUNG RIDER IN THE NEXT GIRO D'ITALIA?

Not really. At AtoC he finished in middle of the field and in another ITT in Tour of Gila course he finished 3rd. He's not that bad.

 

[The Blues]

I thought Rafal Majka as soon as I saw the topic. I see that I am not the only one.

Nevertheless, I would love to see more of them do really well.

 

[Duartista]

If, say, Kelderman or Betancur were to finish around 5th-8th on GC, that would still count as a revelatory performance, regardless of how many people on this forum predict it. Similarly, Dombrowski, Aru or Chaves climbing with the best in the final week in their first GT would qualify.

Personally I would vote for Betancur.

 

[spalco]

I'm voting for Darwin Atapuma, simply because of the awesome name. Absolutely no clue which of those guys will do exceptionally well.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

I am very surprised to see Majka in the front. I think he doesnt have the talent of Dombrowski, Chaves or Kelderman.

 

[Eshnar]

He'll be a team captain though. He has more chances to deliver imo.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Atapuma will offer us some nice show in the Dolomites. I expect him to be the new king of the mountain breakways. IMO in the last year edition (with a route which would have suited him) he could have done a Top10 in the GC.

 

[RHRH19861986]

Mattia Gavazzi could be a revelation. I think he still waits for his first Giro stage win, not even sure he already rode the Giro at least once.

 

[gruppeto993]

radioshack is sending kiserlovski as captain. Any idea of what he'll be capable of pulling off?

Between 5th and 10th in GC I'd guess...

no he won't kreuziger will be

 

[Eshnar]

no he won't kreuziger will be

the last interview I read he made clear he (Majka) was the leader... Kreuziger is not going apparently.

he has incredible potential but usually also lots of bad luck

 

[Netserk]

Kreuziger isn't going to the Giro. He is focussed on the Ardennes and one-week stage races. At the Tour he will be super-dom for Alberto.

Majka is the captain for the Giro

[Jason_Mercier]

Also Cobo, Di Luca, Brambilla, Rabottini, Kiserlovski, Jeannesson, Capecchi, Intxausti could be "surprises" as well. But i wanted to focus on the young guys who havent shone in big races yet.
