This guy was 6th in the TDF. Don't underestimate him, although what you say is true.

He can even finish in 3rd, but if he loses over 5 minutes to the winner, then he wouldn't fight for the overall win. |

Yeah, as much as I'd love Hesjedal to win, I don't think he can even make the podium. Hope he does make it though, for my velogames team's sake.

Brownie points, not that I cook
But longer climbs really dont effect him as much as some of you guys may think.
I think he's still a Top 5 contender.

Yeah, but I have 7 different images switching on 2sec intervals, and I dont see that.

Yea, gif. is a moving picture. Shame it doesn't work. I guess PCM.Daily is coded like that, I don't think I've ever seen a gif. working here. I'll try one and see if it works.
P.S. Okay it works, so something has to be wrong with yours... ; /

He could beat guys like Pozzivivo.
In the last week, I doubt it. This climb suited him pretty well.
As much as I'd like to see him doing a Top 5, I think he'll get smashed once we hit the big mountains.
In TDF 2010 he finished 4th in tourmalet befor guys like Menchov and S.Sanchez |

by a couple of seconds, having lost a minute to them on Ax 3. And the Ax 3 stage is closer in style to the Giro stages.
I think he can do a top 5, but it will require a much better performance than he has shown previously.
