If we keep cutting down the length of the mountain stages, we'll end up doing Japanese style hill climbs in the GTs. Massive disappointment. At least the stage to Tre Cime di Lavaredo is quite good.

I think the question is: if Wiggins rides the Giro, will he hang in the Tre Cime di Lavaredo?
Depends who comes really. I don't think Giro will have a great line-up this year, and if there's no punchy climbers that will try to attack and not follow Wiggo train ( as most did at the Tour ), plus no-one to disrupt inevitable Wiggo train. Then he will hang on. I'd expect with this line - up Wiggo could win the Giro the way he did Tour ( depending who comes though ).
Zandio - Lopez - Siutstou - Cataldo - Henao - Wiggins

I have to agree, Sky will definitely take the strongest team and there aren't likely to be too many other strong riders to oppose them (maybe Purito will ride it again?). The biggest problem for Wiggins will be that the Giro climbs don't suit him as much as the Tour climbs.
