i think Niballi is developing nicely.
Gerdemann had the potential but that injury has knocked him back. don't think he'll ever reach where he could have got to before the crash.

Considering Gesink and Kreuziger are 1/2/3 years younger than the others and have achieved as much, they'll be the better riders. I went for Gesink as well |

It's completely impossible to predict. Completely.
I don't really have an opinion, but it's extremely unlikely that it'll be anyone other than Nibali, Kreuziger or Gesink.
If I had to vote, I'd vote for Nibali.
Fuglsang is the biggest question mark

At that age he was recovering from brain sugery.

Forgot Andy, but he has had great result so far, whereas those haven't had such results so far
But that's a mistake
Anyway, added

Well, now you've added Andy Schleck, so that makes things quite a bit different...
Anyway, for reference:
Robert Gesink - 1986
Roman Kreuziger - 1985
Andy Schleck - 1985
Jakob Fuglsang - 1985
Thomas Lövkvist - 1984
Vincenzo Niballi - 1984
Janez Brajkovic - 1983
Maxime Monfort - 1983
Linus Gerdemann - 1982
Some of these guys aren't young

well If we let Andy out (he is ready in 2010 to win GT)..then Gesink and Nibali.
I have feeling that Gerdemann wont be now where. |
