There are very little names that deserve to be in this poll. Along the obvious big favourites I listed just a few more. Of course, the Betancur option is in the mix as well. Couldn't help myself with Ivan. :D

Kreuziger, Nieve, König might turn their focus to the GC later.

The poll didn't work, I deleted it and set up again and now it seems fine. Looks like if a mod create them, poll work. Good to know :eek:

Could you change the title? Kinda confusing, people might think we're talking about TA ;)

And thanks for closing my thread.
 
Re: Who will succeed Quintana?

So you put Contador/Basso and Pozzovivo/Betancur in the poll and ignored guys which come in Giro as leaders because they don't deserved it :confused:
 
Hard to see past Contador. Porte has a chance if he's in even better shape than the rest of the season so far, but I can't help but think that he may have peaked already. Porte's only got a chance if he's right at top form and Contador is keeping something back for the Tour

Yes I did.

If you read carefully you can find out, what the Betancur option stands for.
Which leader have I missed in your opinion.

Thanks to the admins for making the poll work. :)

What about VDB2? I don't think he can win but maybe he deserved to be put in the poll?. He's been a bit quiet last two years so maybe he's due a good year? Nobodys talking about him so maybe he's a dark horse
 
Neophyte to cycling here. How's that so many people says that Porte will win, if he hasn't even made it to the top 20 in a GT in four years (excepting 19th place in the Tour 2013). I know about his season results, but... how?

My guesses: blind sky fanboy-ism, clinic related things, froome v.2, wiggins v.3.
