Anyone up for predicting the top 10 now?
I'll go for
1. Nibali
2. Valverde
3. Porte
4. Mollema
5. Costa
6. Talansky
7. Van Garderen
8. Van den Broeck
9. Kwiatkowski
10. Fuglsang
(11. Bardet/12. Peraud/13. Pinot)
Thought it's extremely explosive and I've got virtually no confidence in it. Backing Talansky in to get over his injury troubles and think he'll put time into all of them bar Porte, Tejay and Kwiatkowski in the TT and is probably the 4th/5th best climber left. Think Tejay/VDB/Kwiatkowski and perhaps Costa will be found out on the high climbs and that Fuglsang will falter a little in service of Nibali.
Stage is set for a Porte podium though.
1. Nibali
2. Porte
3. Valverde
4. Talanksy
5. Mollema
6. Tejau
7. Costa
8. Kwiatkowski
9. Van de Broeck
10. Fuglsang.
Almost the same but just different placings.
