I want to pick Cunego going into Italy, but he and Valverde just haven't had it so far.........so I'm going out on a limb and saying Christian Vandevelde.
I think Frank Schleck has good form but I'm thinking this might be a stage for either Cunego or Valverde. Both are 4:00+ behind and I can see Cadel and Schleck/Sastre letting them go whilst eyeing each other. Cunego does not seem to be on form though, and Valverde has let me down in the last couple of weeks. Who to pick....who to pick.....
I'm gonna go with a breakaway from a non-GC threat so nobody will chase them down on that big first climb, with a generally slow pace for the GC'ers until the last climb when the attacks come. Christian Knees will take it.
how can i have choosen gerrans three times and not tonight? he wont win but hes fighting hard
Edit: ahh well wrong again he did win well done aussie, Menchov looks like a man who could win this.
Bad teeth presentation today. Gerrans had a heck of a grill too. Kohl needs to seriously follow suit.
I believe Menchov could have been in yellow today if he hadn't lost time in that flat stage during the first week thanks to crosswinds. And then he crashes after putting in a big attack. It would be awesome to see him win.
