Who wins Giro 2014?

[movingtarget]

Perfect conditions for Evans if you know what I mean

Don't antagonise the Evans non fans. Not this early in the race anyway !

Gaps already massive.
I surely forgot someone.

I think it gives the rest of the race a solid narrative. Riders who are looking to win the race, gotta step up moving forward. More risk taking on the harder stages etc.

Of course if your favorite rider is already out or beaten to pulp I can understand the the depressive state.

I'm looking forward to the action, think it will be spectacular.

Incredible effort by Basso to bridge the gap up to the chasing group, should take the lead on Montecopiolo.

basso even if he is in 2006 form should not take the lead until zoncolan. his team is extraordinary weak. also i'm afraid he won't be at his best until the second rest day.
anyway vai ivaaaaaaaaan! il tirano gentile!

Tiranno with 2 n

Stelvio looking very clear now.

 

[Contadoraus Schlecks]

Pozzovivo looking good for me. If he time trials like he did in the Tour last year he will surely be up there

Edit. Got mixed up, it was the Vuelta:
