Finally freed from the shackles of Movistar, Miguel Ángel López will win this Giro

>moved from one brain dead team to another
yea sure

karma for robbing Pinot will get to him

not all bad, I would rather have rat-ears win than the rat-man

Don't worry, all Astana riders have surely received a "letter" from Vino by now and Nibali's voodoo will take care of the rest. Almost all of Astana's season hinges on this Giro, they can't be stopped

yeah haha

Highest quality startlist of any pro stage race this year is Paris-Nice

Why is the The Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorns Cup Tour of Thailand so low??? That's insane.

>itzulia
roglic couldn't win against a 2nd tier field, his career is over

How narrow is your 1st tier that the 3rd best stage race of the year ain't in it

By no means it was a mickey mouse race, but it wasn't tier 1 either

Will Sivakov ride for Chadapaz, or will we get some ebin betrayaltons like memco/almeida last year?

Which stage does grug DNF ?
I bet on 16
He should be able to manage ethna, then is somewhat doable until 15, he'll be tired and DNF on 16.

fat

16 sounds like too much lol.

Redpill me on the Grug DNF meme.

to be fair 4-16 looks doable.
Classics type stage, flat, one big mountain only.
If he doesn't go on full retard attacks all the time he could manage.

Ineos is generally able to keep their riders in check. The only thing that springs to mind was when Froome wanted to drop Wiggo and win the Tour himself but even then he didn't do it.

of course he could fucking manage
who do you think you're talking about here
he's a better climber than half the peloton already

Grug is fat and his team is shit.
Also never completed a GT, TDF was a good example. He rode it like your typical stage race, completely putting apart its 3 weeks long. Ended up being absolutely dead on mountain stages.

he needs to survive stage 1 fot starters

don't you mean DRIVE to survive?

I haven't checked the route, but he gives me the vibes of a whimsical dude that gets bored one day and leaves the race for no reason.

>TDF was a good example
You mean it's the only example. He's never ridden other GTs and his reason to quit was he wanted to race in the Olympics.
This time he's here to get some kilometers in his legs because his season started late.

He knew he was going to MTB olympics beforehand though

>Grug is fat
he could have a chance then, looks like he's still working on getting fat for this year

>he wanted to race in the Olympics.
That yes but he was in shambles during the last stage, he was pulling all the stops. Granted it was a special time as he wanted to keep the yellow as much as possible for the poulidor special.

That's just an omelette.

Do you also have it in the normal giro style?

I don't remember that at all. No one expected him to survive one more day in yellow because of that mountain stage, including him. Him dropping that day was calculated and he just started riding his own tempo afterwards, but maybe my memory is abit hazy, I just remember him dodging an umbrella.

>Basque rider Mikel Landa is looking forward to a great result in the 105th edition of the Giro d'Italia, where he will have a great team around him. The symbol of 'Landismo' will start as the sole leader of Bahrain-Victorious, despite having a lot of quality teammates.
>sole leader
It's happening.

stage 17 will be pure chaos if there is rain

stage nine is pure sexo
