Who will win Tirreno Adriatico?

[Marco Pantani]

Just in time the poll emerges.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Going with Talansky here.

Coming off a perfect training camp. Parcours pretty ideal, but will have to limit the gap on stage 5 somehow.

 

[Gloin22]

Kwiatek or Quintana.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Talansky just missed out to make it into the poll.

Personally, i can't see anyone beating Eddy at the moment, especially on this parcours.

 

[LaFlorecita]

1. Contador
2. Kwiatkowski
3. Porte
4. Quintana
5. Evans

Who is Eddy

 

[Marco Pantani]

Who is Eddy

Kwiatkowski, Eddy, or simply Merckx.

 

[VeloHuman]

Plenty of contenders but I'd be surprised if it wasn't one of Kwiatkowski, Contador, Quintana, or Porte. They're all head and shoulders above the rest in terms of form and/or ability.

 

[ILovecycling]

Kwiatkowski, Eddy, or simply Merckx.

Please dont overhype him.

edit: for me Quintana,Porte,Berto and Kwia will be close

You know this is a forum right?

Riders get over hyped, each user has right to his own view etc.etc.etc. arguments ?



P.S. And there's lots of jokes and sarcasm that many users miss, which is the funniest bit of forums imo

 

[BigMac]

Voted Horner just because. Because It would be hilarious to see him win. And I like hilarious stuff.

 

[Publicus]

Given his form, I don't think Quintana, Contador and Porte will be able to distance Kwiat in the mountains enough to overcome his expected edge in the TTT and the ITT. I predict Kwiat, Porte and Contador will be your podium (in that order).

Horner long range attack on lanciano would be beautiful.

I know right. So beatiful it would make the sceptic bow.

2. Kwiatkowski
3. Porte
4. Quintana
5. Evans

For the most part I agree with your line up. But if Contador is able to beat Kwiatkowski, than I think that Porte will be able to beat him as well.

 

[EnacheV]

baffled at the number of kwiat votes

people seems to confuse early season lulz (Algarve,Oman,etc) with probably most prestigious stage race after the 3 GT's

imo kwiat doesn't make the podium

 

[Pippo_San]

Porte has this in the bag.
Only an epic attack from Papy could change the winner.

 

[gospina]

I think Quintana wins, Conti 2nd, Uran 3rd. Uran is the leader for OPQS, in case you guys forgot, not Eddy

 

[Afrank]

Gonna go with my main man Nairito. I expect it's going to be a very close one between Contador, Porte, Nairito, and Kwiat. All three have strong teams for the TTT, with Porte and Kwiat having the edge over Quintana and Contador. Which should open it up for them to try harder on the climbs to distance Porte and Kwiatkowski.

I think we'll be in for some great racing regardless who emerges the victor.

 

[sacrifice&hardwork]

Sorry boys and girls, but I have to go with my boy Contador. No doubt he is ready and it's his time to shine!





P.S. Contador is not really my boy AND he might not even be ready, but in my opinion, he is ready - so don't quote me!

 

[Afrank]

Have a link that says Uran is leader?

 

[Jspear]

A few people here are saying that Uran is the team leader for OPQS, but most are saying Kwiatkowski is going for the win. Has anything official come from OPQS as to who is the leader?

 

[Jelantik]

he shares leadership with kwiat. Not necessarily a sole leader

I'd agree with you but Kwia was 4th here last year, so it's not as if he hasn't shown what he can do at T-A.

 

[rhubroma]

Quintana has no shot, Porte will get stuffed uphill, Kwiatkowski too...Alberto is back.
