I predict the podium: Contador-Porte-Aru. The Giro will demand 100% mobilization from Alberto. I don't believe in remake of the 2011 scenario whatsoever.

Giro will have 2 Romanian riders this year. That's something, giving the low number of riders in Romania.
Pretty good considering there will be no British riders at all
Now that doesn't happen very often it would have been a good chance for Sky to give Thomas a go
Geraint? Wouldnt make any sense after a hard classics campaign and him being one of the pelotons best 'tiques in different terrains which is perfect for Froome in the Tour de France with TTT, cobbles, hillier days etc.
1. Contador
2. Porte
3. Uran
4. Aru
5. van den Broeck
6. Pozzovivo
7. Kruijswijk
8. Kreuzinger
9. Zakarin -> will be stripped in due time.
10. Chaves

Yeah thats so true, but i would still like hime to be given a chance though.
Pretty sure Riis and I have talked about it already at some point but: Movistar team should be so much fun to watch. Anton, Izagirre, Intxausti, Fernandez, Herrada , D. Quintana, Visconti and Lobato... pheew!!

But you are Jesleyh DiCaprio, you never win anything ever.
Good point. Hmm.
I did won the Vuelta Velogames once though. Long ago.
I mainly just don't win awards
Yeah, this only goes for awards.
Let face it. 2 time survivor winner. That's something to talk about to your grandkids when you're old, every.single.day.

Actually Porte had 2 chances to get top-5 at least in his career so far. In the 2013 Tour he had a plaguy weakness at the most inappropriate moment of the stage 9 when the pace went up hugely 120km before the finish. Then he got himself together and continue fighting but no rider wouldn't been closed the gap against 5 movistar riders who changed each other, In the last Tour Porte got sick and performed badly because of that. So 2 attempts and 2 fails, though in both cases he started the races as a leutenant, that's important factor too. Well given his form this season I find his 2nd favorite status totally reasonable.
Would be nice if Pozzovivo could get on to the podium this year; he's had a great season so far and it seems like the mountain stages kinda suit him somehow. Plus if his recent TTing improvement is anything to go by, he shouldn't lose too much time to the others on the long ITT.
