The 2nd week includes the first three stages in the big mountains. Along with those, there's also the time trial, two hilly stages looking very suitable for breakaways and another rare opportunity for the pure sprinters.

Any word on the weather out on course? If it is raining the short descents and technical sections could be really, really interesting.
CN forums say wet in the first part of the course, the second part should be dry.
Hesjedal, Evans and Nibali (and Gesink when he wants to be) aren't mugs at TTs, and it's a fairly flat course too
Wiggins to close the gap, but don't think he'll nudge ahead of all 3 (or 4)

You're underestimating the length of it. If Wiggins isn't affected by injury, he should easily take at least two minutes on Nibali and others.
It also benefits Wiggins by far most there are long flat sections Edited by Alakagom on 11-05-2013 11:21

Galibier's not that hard. Jafferau is hard but on the short side. The big set pieces of this Giro will be the first and last mountain stage.
