Who will win the white jersey in the giro? (2013)

[staubsauger]

Come on Netserk. Riis could still develop him into a top contender. Clinic .....

 

[trevim]

I'm glad Majka isn't just sucking wheels trying to hang on as far as he can; it's amazing that he tries for a stage win and have an active posture in the race to try to improve his GC.
Anyway, heart says Majka and mind says Carlos. It will be well deserved either way, both have been riding an amazing race so far.
Honourable mention to Kelderman.

 

[del1962]

Surely the minor podium places are yet undecided too, I think Uran make take second from Evans.

 

[Afrank]

I expect Majka will be riding on his wheel and watching every move Betancur makes tomorrow. He won't go down without giving him a hell of a fight.

That being said, Betancur will fly in the next couple stages. I hope he can win one of the stages. He'll surly be his usual attacking self and not relent until his legs fall off.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

I just hope that Majka realizes that he'll never be a podium contender, and goes back to be super-dom a la Szmyd.

There are plenty riders who are GC captains and there goal is to get a Top 10 result. Are you suggesting most of them should realise that they should be super domestiques and do that instead?

 

[Parrulo]

Majka is obviously very talented and could definitively become a force to be reckoned with on the GT's.

I really like this guy.

Netserk is just being an idiot here. . .

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I think and hope Betancur wins it. He's been the most entertaining rider this Giro and I think he's stronger than Majka as well.

 

[Pippo_San]

Funny people vote Betancur.

Boring people vote Majka.

 

[Netserk]

At best (very unlikely) he could have the same role Sastre had when Basso was still on the team.

IMO he semms to be a worker. Not a leader.

Well that wouldn't be the worst scenario in the world for him, seeing as Sastre had his fair chances to go for podium in GTs before winning in 2008.

But with the stage already cancelled and tomorrow might also be cancelled, he looks on course to win the white jersey with 2 seconds. The might even end up in the break in the final day. He wont get a stage win though, even if thats what he was hoping for.

Well you must be a moron if you think Carlos Sastra wasn't a leader. in the years 2005 - 08 Sastre was 21, 3, 4, 1 in the TFD and 2, 4, 2 and 3 in the Vuelta.

Then I just want to know who is a leader and who was at the age of 23

Majka loves the cold clearly like his polish friend at Lampre. If it was hot he would have no chance. He is 1 hardman though thats for sure.

He himself stated the opposite in danish interviews. Also his worst day was the day with very bad weather.

Also Majka is not a domestique type of rider and should have a great career as a leader, but most riders will seem like domestique-types if they are compared with Betancur

I just assumed he was really liking this weather as Niemec as never shown this well in a GT so i put 2 and 2 together, i though Majka underperformed on the stage that Uran won? It was hot i think i maybe wrong.

 

[gmedina]

oh man, i think betancur had a good chance at todays stage...if he didnt had those two mechanicals i think he would have followed niballi and probably would have got the stage....awesome performance from him today!

agree, Betancur was the strongest rider certainly when compared to the other youngsters.

Enjoyed the battle however, worthy competition this time around.
