I'll take Kruiswijk and Yates. Both have unfinished business at the Giro. I like a good redemption story.
Agreed. Both those guys would love to set things right and get the maglia rosas they got so close to before.
Lots of good storylines though. Thomas making a statement after the Tour non-selection, Nibbles with what might be a last shot at grand tour glory in his home race, Fuglsang perhaps settling once and for all whether he is indeed at grand tour guy, Peto trying to salvage his season after a poor Tour and missing Worlds and the Classics, and Viviani also looking for redemption in his home race.
And the profile for the Giro looks crazy. Lots of really hard stages, though we'll see what the weather has in store. Hopefully Kruijswijk stays out of the snowbanks.
LBL has an interesting lineup this year, lots of potential winners and missing a lot of the usual suspects.
