Who wins the giro now?

[Jancouver]

Krujxkvxjkjckjxs may not even start tomorrow because of his broken ribs and other injuries from the crash ...

 

[jaylew]

Final podium prediction:

Chaves
Nibali
Valverde

I think SK is going to struggle tomorrow with the rib injury, unfortunately.

 

[liamito]

Nibali has nothing to lose.

It also depends on how Valverde goes, but I'd say it's more likely for Nibali to finish 1st or 3rd than 2nd.

 

[Pippo_San]

Fractured rib, with such a stage Kruijs has zero chances to even keep the podium.

In a normal standoff Chavito would be destroyed by Nibbles. But THIS Nibbles...who knows...

 

[yespatterns]

Chavito I hope, but who knows? That's half of the fun, great racing so far. Giro kills the other GTs for just that reason.

 

[Carl0880]

Jack Bobridge will go on an insane breakaway, win the stage by an hour and a half, putting the other 160 or so riders outside of the time cut, thus going from 4 hours down to winning the Giro and taking the Points and Mountain Jersey by default.

The way the Giro can be, this almost seems as plausible as status quo right now.

Actually what could just as likely happen is Chaves maintains NIbali on the 2 big climb, then on the descent and 2 km finish, lose about 25-30 seconds, and factor in time bonuses, Nibali down by single seconds going into the final day. Then with the fact that almost no sprinters are left, Nibali and chaves may be sprinting in Tuin for bonus seconds.

Re:

The sharps see it as a neck on neck race between Nibali and Chaves. No chance for Crashweak

This should be considered trolling.

Fine job Sam as usual, interesting to see valverdes odds go down, I wouldvd assumed he went from 0 to a small chance overnight, on the rare chance that Nibali and Chaves might look at each other

 

[gatete]

Is there one for HELL TO THE NO FOR NIBALI?

 

[Laplaz]

I think Chaves suffers the long and not so steep climbs. He loves steep climbs imo, and that could be a problem for him today...

 

[jens_attacks]

nibali is on the rise so going with him

Majka saved his legs thus far and will destroy the world today.
Forum meltdown coming.

It's funny how suddenly he became one of the most hated riders on this forum

I'm surely a pioneer in that respect. Never liked him.

There will be Forum meltdown if Nibali falls and Valverde wins. But I will say Chaves.

Gerrans isn't winning.

 

[rghysens]

I think Chaves will win.
