I guess you mean Rujano, not Rubiano. Still I think Kreuziger is strong this time. Dunno if enough to podium, but strong nontheless.

You thought Rujano probably 
I am also still doubtful about Roman, but he was strong last year also in the brutal stages and this year he should be even stronger, at least he was claiming that. And he was indeed looking very strong yesterday and Rujano seems always able to screw it up somewhat. But i see them both in top 5, behing Scarponi,Basso and Purito.

I'm starting to think more and more that also Schleck and Pozzovivo could be serious challengers. Especially the latter if he keeps this form.
But also Schleck has impressed me greatly so far. I expected him to drop off early on Rocca di Cambio and then abandon the race.

ofcorse..morning mistake..sry.
also Purito usually can screw it up..maybe because he is trying to be in top form thrue season.. |

Wait for the real climbs. Schleck will be no where.
Scarponi is looking good but I'm hoping Basso can take it.

I still think RoboBasso will take it in the final week, with Scarponi and Rujano on the podium.
I would say Rujano would win at first but I think he already lost too much time. He will make up some time in the final week though
Kreuziger to end up 4/5/6th just like F Schleck and Pozzovivo |

65 Cazaux (FRA, EUS) +1:08:17
132 Bulgaç (NED, LTB) +1:12:26

How can you count on Schleck to get a top 5? Just wait till the first downhill and he'll be closer to the time limit than the victory.

You guys are really underestimate Schleck. He will beat everyone in mountains except maybe Basso or Scarponi. Just wait and see, I can't really see him out of podium.
Kreuziger will finish 5th or something like that after losing a little bit of time on others in almost every stage.
I am still thinking Basso will win this, with Scarponi and Schleck being his main rivals. Rodriguez, Pozzovivo and Rujano won't be capable of being stable in every mountain stage in last week.

Why Kreuziger wont take Tour or Vuelta or he's main GT goal.
Giro is clearly not for he's style. |

I think he'd do well in the Vuelta.
