I really hope that Frank Schleck or Gesink can win, I think there hardest competitors will be Cunego, Rebellin maybe Valverde or RodriguezB) |

I think its either gonna be Cunego or Rebellin. Rebellin has been up there the entire month and Cunego seems to be peaking a couple of weeks too early this year.

Had you payed any attention to the forum, you might have realised he's been saying since 2006 that 2007 would be his last Giro, since I've only mentioned it about three billion times

I say that Dekker wins it, because of his experience, and by Dekker I mean Erik Dekker, who comes out of retirement |

No Dekker all the way, plus he is only 2-3 years older than Rebellin and Bettini |

Gentleman, i had a great laugh from that joke. Now if you'll tell me that Vinokourov wont be starting at TdF this year, that would be the greatest joke ever! Capital LOL i say!
Guys? ... Guys?
No seriously, i have completely missed that announcement about Cunego.

I think Cunego will take, since he has been the best rider all week (Amstel and Fleche), and the route fits him very well.B) |

He was clearly not the best in Fleche Wallone. What's more, if it wasn't for the last 50m of the Mur de Huy (the only flat meters), Gesink AND Dekker would even finish in front of him. I think Cunego won't be the best.
I would bet on Fränk Schleck, who has been saving himself in Fleche Wallone. He will win this time. Also look out for Cadel Evans. This race is too long for Kirchen I think, even though he was 10th in last years weak edition |

He was good in front but when it started raining he took it easy. Thomas Dekker even told the press he saw that Schleck was taking an off-day, he expects Schleck to be the man to beat sunday, and I don't see why Dekker is wrong and you are right. |

Schleck will have a hard time. Every rider in sight will be sucking his wheels. However, they've changed the finale a bit this year. It should favor riders like Schleck a bit more now!? I hope we won't see a repeat of last years bunchsprint. Both Schleck and Cunego would want to make it a very hard race.
Anyways, while eveybody else is watching Schleck, Cunego, Rebellin and Valverde, some super lieutenant will sneak away and win! |
