so Kelderman #5 and Poels #7. flashback time
hopefully since it's the Giro the media will care less and the giro has been kinda though so it's less overrated.

Not sure how Ulissi will survive all the climbing to come (probably not well) but feel sorry for him after yesterday with the crash and mechanical, otherwise he'd be right in the mix. Having said that 2 stages and a 2nd isn't bad  |

Ibarguren is doing a great job this year. OPQS riders are flying wherever they race. |

Uran destroying the rest, not much to say about it.
Evans, Majka, Kelderman, Pozzovivo and all within 40 seconds of eachother, so it was actually a pretty close ITT for the GC riders until Uran blew everyone to hell |

There's still much much, more to come. This giro isn't over yet. Quintana will attack for sure. 1 or 2 guys will crack. |

Havn't seen it and will catch up on it at night, but results show that I underestimated the hilly part of the race. Uran so damn strong, Ulissi 2nd, Poels 6th and so on.

I believe this is a good summary of my opinion of OPQS season so far. |

As I said, Majka & Uran seems to be the strongest. Also Pozzovivo may do somethng. If Quintana would be strong, he won't lose that much time on TT like this. Same with Evans & Keldermann. |

No one should be surprised.

Overhyped? Apart from JesleyH who is the biggest Kelderman fan ever I think most other expectations of Kelderman were realistic, and he's actually doing better than expected so far this Giro (though, we still have to see how he does in the high mountains)
Also, Majka is 2 years older |

Don't forget TimoCycling as another Fanboy to give Jes a run 
He is a little overhyped but certainly looks good at this Giro and it would be great to see him hold onto a high GC place to the end

You're falling right for it. That post was obviously ment to provoke a reaction from 'fanboys'. |

Maybe we are fans but we are definitely not overhyping him. We expected a top 10-15 in the GC, and to see him climb so easily and getting top 10s all over the place is great and unexpected. |

Well, why? I think I predicted him 8th in the final GC.
I'm just enjoying everything he does atm
And yeah, Majka is quite a bit better and should be quite a bit better, given he's from '89.
