ProTour Pundit 2016 *no spoilers please*

Stage 12 - Greipel, Modolo, Nizzolo

Looking at the finishing circuit it might be Ewan's best chance of a win.

Why? Because there might be a crash at that final corner and he might be lucky enough to be the only sprinter to avoid it?

Actually, you could be right - how far is that corner from the finish line, 300m? So it would probably suit someone with an explosive sprint rather than a big powerhouse who needs half a mile to wind it up.

Yeh, think it's 300m. I'm not suggesting he will win as I think he's well off being good enough but it might be his best opportunity as he's a crit rider.

In saying that, Greipel did well the other day with Roelandts leading him

Numpty.

For future reference - it's called the Giro d'Italia and lasts for 3 weeks. We are moving onto stage 13 tomorrow, and there are 21 stages in total. They have a wee break on the 23rd of May, maybe for your benefit in case you are finding it too taxing.
