I think it won't be as much about weather as altitude.
An how in the hell Majka hates cold, he is from Poland ffs. |

Nobody counts him out, he's actually the biggest wildcard. It's just that he isn't proof enough to be trusted for a GT. |

I know he is. But DS Lars Michaelsen and others have told danish television that they really hope for good weather in the big mountains, because Rafa don't like riding in snow (cold weather in general).
Oh well. Recent forecasts predicts the weather to be: 12 degrees celsius on Stelvio and rain. 19 degrees on Gavia and rain. 6 degrees on Val Martello and rain. If this will be the case, Majka is definitely screwed.

Forecasts actually predicts snow all day on both Gavia and Stelvio. I think the stage is at risk |

Found out that the degrees and such before was in the bottom of the climbs except Val Martello. Forecasts do predict snow all day on Gavia and Stelvio, unfortunately.

I don't think Kelderman had a bad day. I think this is his real level

Do Danes still root for Tinkoff-Saxo? It's more like a prison for Danish riders now than an actual Danish based club. |

Perhaps, but he showed better things yesterday so I'm confident he just had a a bad day. |

I think Kelderman is more likely to lose places in the GC then to gain.
Edit; or well, 1 place i guess after looking more closely at the GC

I think we do, actually. The team might be russian, but I think the fact that Bjarne is still there, has a huge impact.

On Polish Eurosport there were an interview with masseur (idk if thats how it should be called i mean person who takes care of psyhical recovery) of Majka , and he said, that he still isn't in perfect condition after crash, and he can't 100% recover after stage, so he will ride more defensively in next few days
it is interview from yesterday, hope that he will feel good on the last stages |

Hi. I'm new in this thread. I wanted to say that i'm very impressed by Rolland! What do you think guys, can he finish in Top 5? Because i think that he is in top 5 climbers this giro. |

He's got too much time up to top 5 i think, but he can definitely go past Kelderman, to climb any more in the GC someone needs to crack. |
