Giro: Stage 5 picks

[Bro Deal]

Sprinters' stage, but with a climb not so far from the finish, a descent, and what looks like an short uphill finish. Does not look like it's good for Petacchi. I would pick Bettini but his crash today puts that in doubt.

Looks like McEwen will get his second stage.

 

[Andrija]

Bettini if he recovers from the crash.

 

[Bro Deal]

It could be a stage for a man like Garzelli. He looks to be in good shape and I think he will win a stage this Giro.

 

[Powerful Pete]

Yes, a stage where a non-traditional sprinter has a shot. I second Bettini if he recuperates from his crash today.

Bettini will have to be my pick as well. But maybe Di Luca is also in with a shout?

To be honest Bettini is not himself...... I can't see him winning a stage... Di Luca looks hot.... I'd watch him...

Since Valv isn't racing, it'll have to be Hinc.

My head says McEwen.

Heart says Petacchi for stage 5.

 

[Bro Deal]

I am going to switch to Garzelli.
