Who will win 2013 GIRO?

[Ryo Hazuki]

Astana Giro team not weak

Nibali
Fulsgang
Brajkovic
Kesiakoff
Tiralongo etc

brajkovic and fuglsang suck. kessiakoff so far has always sucked past first 2 weeks

Brajkovic is a top 15 guy in any gc he rides, so to call him bad when he is a domestique is just idiotic... Birdsong, yea he suck

they will do the tour no doubt anyways.
It will be up to Tira, Aru, Agnoli, Seeldrayers and probably Zeits to do the work in the mountians

 

[cineteq]

Birdsong, yea he suck

Don't talk badly about a TdF leader, whatever that means.

Do not forget Kash. 2013 will be his year, I can feel it, watch out Nibali

 

[ILovecycling]

yes he has said after lombardia he will want to do the giro next year

Awesome.So May 14th is the day he will step up to the group of big climbers,I hope those asses will underestimeted him
..It would be good if he has good guys for flat stages.Dowsett is pretty useful to protect Quintana in flat stages,dont ya think?

something tells me in 2013 we'll see some moves like this a lot


























one can dream.

What moment do you think it was?
I mean to the group of big climbers(thats Contador,Froome,Purito and Schleck for me)

 

[Orvieto]

Perhaps, but he wasn't tested. If we take Wiggins from 2012 he can go very far, J-Rod responded very well against Valverde and Contador in the Vuelta 2012. What did Hejsedal respond to?

I think Hesjedal responded very well to Liquigas attempts to drop him in the mountains. They thought they'd bury him, but he outlasted them all. His response to J-Rod was canny. He was never going to match his bursts (neither did Contador at the Vuelta), but he limited his losses. Hesjedal's strength is his consistency. He didn't win any stages at the Giro, but he didn't have any big losses either.

All that being said, I don't see Hesjedal repeating. Everything went right in 2012, the right course, the right field, no crashes, strategy from other teams that played into his hands. He's a tough dude so expect top 5 and maybe a podium in 2013.

 

[virandociclista]

Contador will save cycling honor winning Giro and Tour in 2013! So we will have only good news to talk about...

 

[del1962]

I doubt Scarponi will be doing the Giro

 

[myrideissteelerthanyours]

Contador will save cycling honor winning Giro and Tour in 2013! So we will have only good news to talk about...

...and then test positive again to keep the sport in the dark ages, be allowed to ride while appealing the ban, win another GT and then have all the results relegated. again.

Wiggo.

The man doesnt need to be in 100% condition to beat Nibali in the Giro, so he'll might end up winning the Giro-Tour Double. And podium the worlds.

 

[whittashau]

I hope that's a joke.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

it's not very funny

 

[El Pistolero]

Wiggo, he must be pretty rich after his Tour victory. He can just buy the race.

Indeed. UCI must be happy with the pay check from BSkyB

I was thinking more along the lines of a big donation to Cannondale to thank them for their investments in cycling.

I don't think anyone at less than 100 can beat Nibali in any GT.

A very bad joke

Depends on Nibali's form. By the way you forgot about Alberto.
