Who will be the first rider to win his first GT?

If the course isn't too steep, read no impossible mountains, Mick Jagger should trash them all.
That ITT at the Giro was just A M A Z I N G.
Also should he have been a little bit more attentive he could've made Nairito's life definitely harder.

Regarding Aru we'll see his development, I'm still a bit uncertain about him.

About Kwiatko, I'd say this Tour was very indicative: he'll probably become a better Rui Costa type of rider, good for one week stage races and classics.

Watch out cause the next generation is already coming: Yates bros, Formolo, Bongiorno, Mohoric...

Of the riders in the poll, the ones I could see most likely to win a GT the soonest would be Aru, Pinot, Rodriguez, and Uran.

Uran, I don't know, maybe if a Giro get's low competition. But he just doesn't really convince me.

Rodriguez, he might win the Vuelta this year, but he's going up against some tough competition, is coming back from injuries, and hasn't looked too great in the Tour. We'll see.

Pinot, problem here is he's likely to focus on the Tour, and I don't see him beating Froome, Contador, Quintana, or Nibali (depending on which of the big 4 choose to ride it.

Aru, hmm. in 2010 Nibali was 3rd in the Giro and followed up with a win in the Vuelta, so...I'll go with him.

Pinot, if he commits to a TdF free year, which I don't see happening. Unless he goes to a foreign (i.e. non-French) Team, money/sponsors won't let that happen.

Talansky might get a lucky Vuelta or something. Aru is my bet though. He will ride everyone of his wheel next May with ease (even Nibbles )

What about Davide Formolo? he's good too.

If Movistar has it clear next year that Piti is not a GT winner, and I assume Quintana will be the leader for the Tour, what about Ion Izagirre for 2015 Vuelta? Of course, if none of the above gets something before that.
