Frosty Posted May 30, 2021 Share Two team cars and three riders fighting for the same space; crazy ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted May 30, 2021 Share So Ganna's flat and Cavagna's OTB opens the door for someone else to take the stage. But realistically, who is left that might be able to contest for the win? Only Almeida makes me think possible TT victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does relatively well though theres a top 5, or 4 at a stretch, waiting on GC Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 5/4/2021 at 1:05 PM, Vetplant said: Evenepoel Almeida Bernal George Bennet Buchman In that order On 5/4/2021 at 4:56 PM, Frosty said: I'm going to pick Bernal as the winner. Then have 4 riders vying for the remaining podium places Bennett Landa Remco Yates Then a list of riders (I think) that will make the top 10 (also in alphabetical order). Almeida Hindley Martin Nibali Vlasov Side note: I see Remco has bib number 91, so he's the designated leader based on "tradition" of the number 1 listed rider on the start list. I don't think he'll finish in the top 5, but I'm going to put him there anyway based on his history (2018 was a good year) and desire to get back racing. So, who called who for the top 5?

'Dale Posted May 30, 2021 Share Bernal - what a classy athlete. He looks like he should be Matric in a school blazer and be highly competent in Natural Sciences and Pure Maths. He climbs like an angel, has the maturity to stay calm and compare while others where gaining time on the Maglia Rosa, and is as kind as a Tibetan monk. Chapeau! 2 Grand Tour wins in 4 starts, one being a domestique and the other struggling with injury. The ongoing trend of a generation of younger riders dominating the 3 week race is continuing to blow up all norms and traditions in this tough sport. dsw, Vetplant, Zebra and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe that he has not won a race yet in the Pro Peloton. Would love to see him win some stages to get the backing to go into a Stage Race as the protected rider for GC. Can't put my finger on it, but there is something there that I really like about him. Underachiever, Frosty, Sid the Sloth and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted May 30, 2021 Share One of the defining pics of this beautiful Giro. I only noticed now how the breakout GC oke in Caruso was staring (not much to see when in the red) at Martinez while he was encouraging the maglia rosa. What a ride from the Bahrain Victorious domestique-turned-GC-contender. *summarily flicks channel to Dauphiné* Pic: Getty Images Sport Edited May 30, 2021 by 'Dale Long Wheel Base, kosmonooit, Vetplant and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
