I include Garmin as English speaking due to being a USA team.

Posted by: AG« on: May 10, 2012, 16:32 »yeah I may have overestimated what my boys can do.
ah well ... we will see for the rest of the race. still a long way to go ;D Posted by: ram« on: May 10, 2012, 16:32 »Two wins and 3 moral victories. I still predicted it correctly.
Posted by: Jamsque« on: May 10, 2012, 16:30 »OK, one person who got this right, who are you?
My prediction that Cav would go 2/3 in the sprints was correct, but I over-estimated the strength of my lads against the clock. Still, Cav's wins put Sky firmly ahead of BMC in my owners' bet with AG, and that's what matters. Posted by: Slow Rider« on: May 02, 2012, 16:12 »Three out of the first five stages for Sky seems reasonable enough. That would be a nice success for them, or pretty much any other team for that matter.
Perhaps they'll take a few more later in the Giro though; without looking at the parcours in too much detail I'd think Uran has a shot at winning a small group sprint uphill, a guy like Thomas or Flecha could take a win from a break, and perhaps Cavendish or otherwise Swift could win a sprint later in the race. I wouldn't be surprised to see them end with 5 stages at the end. Posted by: AG« on: May 02, 2012, 11:07 »read up thread JSG ;D
Posted by: just some guy« on: May 02, 2012, 11:03 »yeah I think Sky would consider that successful. What else are they hoping for at the Giro? ps GVA is not riding the Giro last time I looked AG or have I missed a joke ? Posted by: AG« on: May 02, 2012, 11:03 »yeah I think Sky would consider that successful. What else are they hoping for at the Giro?
Actually most teams would consider that successful. ;D Posted by: just some guy« on: May 02, 2012, 10:59 »Here's a follow-up question, then: Yes to successful I recon cav might finish - he climbs worse than a fat man at the moment if he wants that Gold he will need to be able to get over the hill and some eyetalian mths be just the thing. also I will say 2 both to Cav Prolog - Thor 2 sprint stages to Cav TTT Garmin Posted by: Jamsque« on: May 02, 2012, 10:50 »Here's a follow-up question, then:
If Sky win 3 of the first 5 stages and carry pink for a day or two, does that alone constitute a successful Giro for them, even if they do nothing else for the rest of the race besides maybe put one of their South Americans in to the top 10 or 20 on GC? I think they would be pretty happy with some early success, I can't see Cav finishing the whole tour and I expect one or two of the guys coming off the track to run out of gas after the first week and pull out.

Posted by: bicing« on: May 02, 2012, 10:00 »I cannot be sure about who will win the stages, but my expert analysis for the year says Matthew Goss is a shoe-in for all the 2nd places.
Posted by: The Hitch« on: May 02, 2012, 01:50 »3, OPQS will send their strongest into a break.
If it comes back it will be Farrar. Posted by: Havetts« on: May 02, 2012, 00:56 »TT and Cav to botch up twice but win two others.
