But Quintana to Giro..he will crush them
What I've been wondering recently is whether Valverde will go to the Giro \
Quintana has proved to be better climber. Depending on profile of Giro and TdF, they will decide, I think. But looks like Valverde will do Giro/Vuelta and Quintana TdF. |

Froome is clearly doped. Today he did the 3rd fastest time ever up the Semnoz. Even Armstrong never climbed it this fast.

Dont forget Contador if he goes, he might not be insane on the climb up like before, but as he showed last year and also this year, he is stronger than most on the more moderate climbs and flat |

I am pretty sure that the organization will make som mountainious routes in order to get Rodriguez, Quintana and these guys to attend. They KNOW they have found a new great rider and Froome is superior and will crush everyone on the TT's
Well, at least I hope so |

That's based on a different weight, so in fact this is a better estimate:

What holds more prestige in the order of jerseys? Polka dot, right? If so, then Talansky gets to wear white tomorrow!

He could win GT like Vuelta some year, not TdF due to long climbs. Nevertheless great performance. Despite leading most of the way up the mountain still managed to beat Froome.
Is he going this year? Could be close between him Valverde and Nibali.
Yes Purito, Valverde and Nibali. Also Porte, but Porte might find steep slopes and acceleration of these guys a bit too much.
Henao is leading for Sky, not Porte.
But Porte is better TTlist and climber then Henao. But TdF and Vuelta might be too much for Porte, as Froome proved last year when he finished 10min down. |

Interesting thought. Quintana vs Nibali. Hard to say who's better. Nibali is more complete, but Quintana is such an awesome climber... hmm |

I don't really care for it, but weirdly a poll done this week showed people overwhelmingly think it's more important than green.
I was amazed how almost nobody gave a crap about green

Congratz to QUINTANA for winning WHITE AND POLKA DOT jersey in one tour
This is the first guy who did THIS.
Merckx would've if the white jersey had existed.
Would be surprised if Quintana didn't go full-on for the Tour next year, sending the only guy with a chance of beating Froome to a much lesser race like the Giro (in terms of marketing value that is) doesn't seem like the best move... |

Next year TdF will be awesome. Froome, Quintana and Nibali.
Remember Nibali is only guy too beat Froome this year in any GC in Tirreno–Adriatico, Though in downhill on penultimate stage. |
