Will Sky win all 3 GT's this year?

[Miburo]

That's their goal. Will they succeed?

Yesterday and today was a painful day for some of us i'm assuming. Is this it?

Can no one oppose them? A shark, the great one, purito...? Will they win them all?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Only Giro and Tour where one of them could be a 1-2.

 

[Parrulo]

yes. . . .

wiggins, froome and henao will be the GT winners this year

 

[Miburo]

And this is coming from a nibali and contador fanboy

That's their goal in comming years

Sky do not expect Henao to win Vuelta. 2 GT's is the goal, they have plans to win three of them in coming years.

Can do they it this year? Doubtful, but they won't be far off it imo.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Before Sky can have a Vino option, they need to seriously change their tactics......

I don't think they are stupid enough to change their tactics It's what suits them, it's up to others to isolate Wiggins / Froome for them to attack.

I.e. See Oman partially

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yes

Wiggins - Giro
Froome - Tour
Porte - Vuelta

 

[airstream]

This Shark can seriously thrash Sir on the climbs. So, 1 or 2.

If he's really not near 100% then yea. He has a better chance than Contador with froome it seems

 

[wwabbit]

I probably should wait until Catalunya to see Wiggin's form before I voted, but I suspect he may not be like he was last season. Froome may be favourite for TDF on current form but Contador can only get stronger. Between the two, probably one will win.

I can't see Uran or Henao winning Vuelta after losing a lot of time in the TT. Perhaps Porte will have the chance if they make him leader instead. If Sky happens to win the Vuelta it will probably be because of a weak field.

 

[Pentacycle]

Henao could be a great stand-in for Wigans though.

 

[SafeBet]

I suspect they will.
Nibbles will give them a fight, but he can't break that train.
Same for Berto in the Tour.
Not sure about the Vuelta, since there's still a long way to go. But with this team, why not?

 

[Contadoraus Schlecks]

This is just grim.

 

[rzombie1988]

I can definitely see the Giro and the Tour but they will be out of gas by the time the Vuelta hits.

"I think it's pretty simple. If we keep following a certain way of training and racing, it makes it a lot more controllable for us. The more you can control in a race then the more you can control the outcome. Cycling isn't always predictable but the more control you have over things, the easier it becomes,

What a great mindset

Give the guy a controller and pcm

Today no one is at 100%.

 

[argyllflyer]

Think Froome's got the best chance, can't see Wiggo doing the Giro at this point and not sure about Henao at the Vuelta. It depends on the field.

 

[spalco]

I'll say 2, although they might have shot at all three. But things aren't that plannable.

Remember when there was talk of AC winning all three in one year?

yea those were the days

 

[Cyivel]

I'd also like to see Wiggins in Catalunya before deciding, if he is in good from then absolutely he and Froome could win the giro and Tour, I could see having someone getting top 5 maybe podium in the Vuelta.

So 1 or 2.

 

[Afrank]

God I hope they don't win all 3.

My heart says of course they won't, Nibali to thrash Wiggins in the Giro, Contador to destroy Froome in the Tour, and Purito/Quintana/Nibbles to crush them in the Vuelta.

But my head says there is a very real possibility that they could.

This is why I hate Sky.

 

[hfer07]

Best case scenario: 3
Likely case scenario: 2
Worst case scenario: 1

IF Wiggo fails in Italy, he'll go Spain.

 

[The Hitch]

The poll should be, what will be the next GT Sky dont win.

My guess is the 2017 Giro
