Still just time to get my Giro favorites down, race is under way in Holland right now but here goes.
Overall General Classification
1. Cadel Evans
2. Alexander Vinokourov
3. Carlos Sastre
There are several challengers to these top three. Domenico Pozzovivo is on excellent form and could pose a threat on the big climbs. The Lampre tandem reunited, Damiano Cunego and Gilberto Simoni also could challenge on the climbs. Garmin-Transitions has a trio of talent, the veteran Christian Vandevelde leads the squad but Aussie youngster Jack Bobridge and Irishman Dan Martin could also show themselves at the front. Former winner Stefano Garzelli, Marzio Bruseghin, Ivan Basso, Vincenzo Nibali and Vladimir Karpets could all find their legs as well and threaten for a podium spot by the finish. However, World Champ Evans is the most prepared and focused of the real three week challengers. Vino is certainly going to be dangerous but I feel he still lacks a little something to last three weeks with no bad days. Former Tour winner Sastre looks and sounds ready, but his fragility seems to prevent him from winning consistently. Should be fun and let's hope it's a little slower than last year.
Go VDV!!
