Adam Hansen is going for his 7th consecutive Grand Tour. He expects to do the triple again this year for the third consecutive year and he says to Cycling News that he want to do it for 5 more years.

That Hansen-fact is awesome! (Besides he runs his own tech-company too!  )
Is it sadistic to look forward to the Monte Zoncolan? Because I'm really looking forward to the last week of this Giro. I think the steep climbs suit Purito very well and he must be looking for glory after his bad luck in Wallonia. Quintana might crack in the last week as I guess the last TdF wasn't nearly as tough as this Giro. Finally I'm secretely hoping Petacchi wins one of the flat stages

He is indeed, but we knew it before, that Mark won't be part of OPQS team at Giro.

Nah, he's too inconsistent for a Top 5, I reckon.

Top 10
1. Quintana
2. Rodriguez
3. Majka
4. Pozzovivo
5. Uran
6. Evans
7. Cataldo
8. Scarponi
9. Aru
10. Landa
Who will be be the most disappointing rider?
Roche. I think he will go to prepare the TdF on the last week. Imagine a TdF of TST with Roche, Kreuziger and Contador...
Who will be be the most surprising rider?
I think Landa. He's in a really good form and at the end of the day he's not a bad climber. Anyway I'm not so sure that he would not break on the last weelk.
Who will win the Maglia azzurra?
Arredondo
Who will win the Maglia rossa?
I think Purito but there are some riders as EBH that could get some points at sprints and some with any breakaway... Anyway I think Purito and Kittel are the riders that havee more options.
Who will win the Maglia bianca?
Quintana. This is the easiest bet ever xD

Err. I can imagine that.
He wasn't the first one at all to put Evans under them

Well, he is actually. But all the others are younger (fresher). However, this year he has Sanchez-old but a great teammate.
Uran is alone and hasn't shown anything spectacular since last year's Giro. Pozzovivo is also alone and already lost in the mountains in Trentino. Majka and Roche are a very strong duo and it'll be hard for him but I think he'll manage to beat Uran and Pozzovivo. |

No idea whether it has already been mentioned, but:
No Iglinsky and Lutsenko in the Giro. Visa problems.
Brajkovic and Bozic will replace them. Which leaves Astana with an amazing mountain squad, even without Nibali. Sure, form comes into play as well, but I count at least 5 fairly good climbers.
