A day or 2 ago someone commented on Uran " Never bet against a Colombian in the mountains "

 

That seems to be even more true after today.

 

And the bookies seem to agree. Uran is now the bookies favourite to take home the ribbon.

Yesterday is was still Cadel with Quintana chasing

...On S10 I thought Uran and his tribe was looking very composed. I think they must give us a glimpse today...

Apparently Quintana has picked up a cold to add to the roasties. That doesn't look good considering the fairly poor forecast ahead. Reckon Cuddles will be psyched that the weather gods might turn the screws a bit, he loves giving it a tonk in the rain and snow.

“It was a long time trial, I tried to hang in there as best I could,” Quintana said. “I wasn’t as good as I had hoped, I had some problems with my breathing, not with my legs. I hope to recuperate in the coming days; the hardest days are still to come. We hope we didn’t lose too much time in the time trial. I couldn’t breathe well, it really affected me, and you notice that against your rivals who are in perfect condition. I am taking some antibiotics these days, hope I get through it, and I can be at my best for the decisive days. The idea is to still fight for this Giro.”

Hot tip for the fantasy Giro 2015: Ask me who my top 10 are and remove them from your team.

 

My hub predictions have been shyte for years.

 

Its like I'm hubcursed or summon.

 

Quintana to win today ;-)

As age sets in, it is a tad harder to get aero like Uran. Still a solid ride nevertheless. (i had no idea how to spell that, astonished that its 1 word)
