Will contador go for the Climbers Jersey?

[Ramira]

Considering AC has pretty much wrapped up both the points jersey and the pink and Garzelli is within range (I think it's 9 points at the moment). Do you think Contador will use his team to work so he can be the first up the Finestre and win the climbers jersey or will he leave it for Garzelli?

only chance i see to take the classification is if some other teams do riding on the front all the way up and drop garzelli

i doubt contador and saxo want to take the jersey

 

[Ferminal]

Yes, he needs 2nd and 2nd, or just 1st over Finestre. If he's not going to go for it he might as well sit in the 'bus.

not actively

 

[RedheadDane]

Naah! He wanted the GC not the KOM.

Besides; if he attacks Garzelli to get the green jersey he's gonna get a bunch of angry Italians on his tail...

 

[Ryaguas]

Contador knows that He cant take everything away from the Italians... He is not going for the KOM mountains and specially if the guy who wears it now is Garzelli, This could be his last Giro and Contador is not going to be that selfish... If He takes it is cuz there is no option but He is not going actively for it...

Contador will win the GPM as long as the break is reeled in. He only needs 12 points (11 to draw level, but Garzelli holds the tie breaker - the Cima Coppi), so 2nd & 3rd would do it.

If there are attacks all over the shop Contador will happily just sit on whoever's at the front. In which case Garzelli would need to score some points. And that entails being in the first 6 over Finestre, much easier said than done.

Might want to change the mountain jersey next time if you can win it based on one stage. That's just sad.

 

[BeachBum]

No gifts, he takes it.

he won't go for it,but he'll probably win it.i would really like garza to keep it.
