Giro d'Italia overall:

Maglia Rosa: Nibali, followed by Uran and Zakarin. Valverde and Majka might also mess up this 1-2-3. Landa won't feature in the overall because of his dismal testing.
Maglia Rossa: Nizzolo seems to know the art of winning enough points without ever winning a stage - Kittel will win a at least one stage, but he won't last the whole race, ditto Ewan. Viviani and Demarre could run Nizzolo close, and Mareczko might surprise us all.
Maglia Azzurra: Landa - though Zakarin and Chavez will be up there too, perhaps also Pozzovivo. I'd like to see Grmay feature too.
Maglia Bianca: Chavez

Isn't it one pick per jersey and three picks per stage?

 

[gk09]

If so, my first picks stand.

The extra detail just allows for more opportunity to demonstrate my poor judgement and lack of knowledge.

Yes. IMHO, we should do Top 3 for each next season though. @Marmion might have to learn how to use a calculator...

Quite happy to go with 3 GC picks for GTs if that is the preferred majority approach, starting as of the Tour de France.

However, I may randomly deduct points from anyone explaining the thinking behind their picks. And be very punitive to repeat offenders...

Bloody ridiculous idea - there's barely more than 3 credible contenders.

Fair point, looking for the easy points if you ask me...

Oh, and well done on remembering that it was 3 picks for the stages
