Sorry, didn't see your post until now and very good points made.lighterness said:Lots of commentary going on about the team Sky riding by the numbers.. It's still an interesting game, and the outcome is unpredictable. There are riders: Contidor, Nibali, Rodrigues, who are just incredible, and all it takes is a good day in the saddle, and the Giro can be taken by any one of the top riders.
I'd love Wiggo to take the Giro, because it's the Giro, and I'd really like Froomy to get his shot at the TdF. He's such a good rider, and it would be huge for Sky to allow him to win. He may opt out of the team if he is asked to support another Wiggo win.
As for Cadel, he has had his day I'm afraid. He aged quickly over the past 2 years and it would have been best to retire while he was on top. I guess he is hoping to come out on top, but I fear that there are superior riders out there, including TJ his teammate.. As in the TdF last year, TJ took the gap, I think this year he won't hold back, and he just seems so much stronger than last year.
I watch the Giro, because it is just fantastic to watch, and possibly as great an event as the more famous TdF.. Please don't all shout at me at once!!
I wish Wiggo all the best in winning the Giro.. and Froomy the TdF.
BTW, does anyone know what happened with Wiggo and the razor? He has lost his sidies. Quel dommage!
I also enjoy the giro better, its more exciting,narrower roads, steeper inclines,longer stages,cobbles,dirt roads-it's all good:icon_razz:
BAAAAD DAY FOR WIGGO TODAY!:icon_cry2:
I think he is going to have to go like a train in both TT's now just to keep himself in contention.
I think Evans and Hesjedal are the bigger worries, rather than Nibali now as they are both competent TT'ers.
Oh well, the next couple of weeks are going to be very interesting.
