Who will win La Vuelta 2018?

[railxmig]

I would go with de la Cruz if he wasn't part of Sky (i think Geogenhagen will get "the juice"). He seems to have this sleeper "quality" Cobo, Hesjedal and Horner had. Same thing i would say about Hirt (i think i'll exclude Peio Bilbao, because of his Giro result), but he'll be part of the SuperMAL train. Dupont, Geniez or even Benoot may try to fill the lower top 10 spots. Porte will crash, because he's Porte. Pinot may try for 3rd (or 2nd if Majka will be glued to his wheel) while practicing his inner sprinter. Every breakaway will have at least one member of the Euskadi team. I think in the end Nibali will win, because he has the voodo dolls.

Sarcasm aside. I am fine with anyone winning this, but Nibali (i'm sick and tired of this dude). I only hope, there won't be any Sky train killing the racing.

Quintana for the win

Nairo Q

"I'm here to go for the overall victory,"

Finally somebody saying they're hoping to win!

Is porte being honest or is he acting and absolutely destroy everone on the first mountain?

Can't even identify the dude next to Uran

I think it's Sky's David de la Cruz, next in line to win a GT fro Sky.

Some more fun:

Good, we have two. Actually Nairo should be the overwhelming favorite.

As Yates (shaven) & Nairo Q seem to be the GT guys, a Movistar v MS battle could be interesting.

Still would not be surprised if some untipped, rider wins it - just find someone who's lost the fat!

 

[Red Rick]

I changed my mind.

Quintana is the pretty big favorite. And he needs badly.

99 votes, only 2 for Aru. No love, no hope for the future of the Italian GT rider?

If he can awake his inner "ugly face", as Contador would say, then he has a chance.

It's a who will win thread, not who will finish 7th.

Sorry, someone called him Borat and I can't unsee the similarity or ever take him seriously again

So that's what the "S" stands for! "Shaven Yates"!

Obviously a beard is too heavy and has to be shaved to be considered a true contender. Also why Gaviria did not finish the Tour. Its all in the beard, I tell you!

There has never been a poll this close ever. Could be great.

Hmm, how did Geschke go so well in the Tour then...?

And if my eyes didn't deceive me, I think Adam had shaven before the TT so now were back to square one... Hopefully their glasses will have different colours.
