    Seeing as we’re all still up worrying about the game falling apart I thought I’d ask the big question…

    Who’s going to go for it tomorrow?

    I can’t see any of the big GC contenders, Basso, Schleck, Scarponi, Rodriguez, Hesjedal or Kreuziger even attempting to put more than a few seconds into each other with 3 more summit finishes in the next week. Stage 15 should be more fun as it runs into a rest day.

    I’m thinking, I’ll pick up two of Rujano, Gadret, Hesjedal and Basso and maybe leave Scarponi until later although I could afford Kreuziger and one of the first 4 on my list.

    Something else to throw into the mix, apparently it’ll to be bloody freezing on the summit tomorrow with risk of snow and Rodriguez is known to dislike the cold, Pozzovivo too (as he’s a whippet).

    Thoughts?

    So he did, but not in 2012 😕 😉

    Interesting to here the interview with Pozzovivo’s manager today read out online, what does he fear. The cold, the rain and going downhill :evil:

    Oops, 2010, sorry.

    It’s just that I’ve only recently returned from the future.

    Let me tell you what happens in this year’s Giro.

    It transpired that Thor had actually been cycling really slowly behind the race caravan, sneaking into the roadside bushes for sleeps and nuts to keep him going. He actually finished seventeenth on the GC, cycling through the night to gain bonus time at the intermediate sprints.
    Mark cavendish launched an attack on stage 19 on one of the descents, soling to the finish like never before.
    Both Frank Schlecks arms fell of, but he still managed to finish.
    Mehdi Sonrabi returned from Limbo to win three stages on the bounce.
    Androni finished top of the team classification, by way of Rujano finishing First, Second, Third and Fourth.

    So yeah, I basically got a little confused.

    And oh yeah, Heinrich Haussler became the first person ever to win every single stage of the Tour and Vuelta. 👿
