...so he needs to be hungry like the wolf this year.

We can all save a prayer for him

Unless there is something I should know, I think the course and the time is right for wild boy, Rigoberto Uran Uran, this year. However, he hasn't always shown the killer instinct in GTs, so he needs to be hungry like the wolf this year.

We can all save a prayer for him

Jeez.........

Jeez.........

That;s a pretty short prayer Crack do you think it will work?

Looking at the rest of the line up, Dirty Bertie's to lose I'd have thought.

I though you were better than that FM.

I am so enjoying this. I hope people read that post and wince.

However, the serious part was that I am backing Uran. It wasn't just an excuse for the worst pop-culture punnery ever.

 

[smutchin]

I picked Uran in the predictor comp largely on the basis that he's the one of the main contenders I'd most like to win, but I genuinely rate his chances too.

Porte looks in great shape but you'd put your mortgage on him having a bad day in week 3...

I do have a sneeky feeling that Konig will end up finishing higher than Porte.

Porte is on top form, and he should put time into every one bar Uran in the ITT. I would love either of those two to win, they are both nice guys. The problem with that is that Contador is obviously the class of the field and he can manufacture a win even if he is not the strongest. I hope it doesn't turn into a Contador cakewalk, especially if Porte stays in form for the whole 3 weeks. That would be best - a four way shoot out between Porte, Aru, Contador and Uran, With a win for Uran being my hope.

 

[Keith Oates]

I'd like to see Porte get the win but as has been said already any hiccup can prevent it happening.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hont]

I hope it doesn't turn into a Contador cakewalk.

Ditto. Here's to a close race.

If it isn't, it should still be interesting to see how well the likes of Quintana and Betancur go.

 

[Crackle]

Hard to see past Contador really. Uran for a podium, Porte for a bad day, Aru for a bit of show and then a host of people with promise who hopefully can pull off a surprise or two.

Extreme weather protocol to be tested during the Giro; here's hoping for some top quality air pollution

It's Quintanino going, i can't wait to see how he stacks up though.
