Contador all the way

I'd be damned if I don't say the man in the picture, Alberto Contador, isn't going to win this Giro d'Italia.
Finally woke up from the dreamland of Manchester United completing the double. Plus the past two stages of the Giro, weren't too apetising for me to jot down. But Stage 14 last night, the first of the really high mountains, an Italian Alpine stage that went over 195km from Verona to Alpe di Pampeago in Val di Fiemme, was when the real protagonists came into the picture.
At the end of the Godforsaken mountain stage, CSF-Navigare had bagged their third stage win of the Giro, through Emanuele Sella who rode solo for almost 50km. Tinkoff's Vasil Kiriyenka, Belarus' most famous sportsman, tried a follow-up attack, but had to be satisfied with second.
What was most important at the end of the night was the picture painted by the general classification. Gabriele Bosisio of LPR added time in the maglia rosa he inherited from the leader over the past eight stages - Giovanni Visconti. But Bosisio is not going to win the Giro.
Just five seconds adrift in the standings is the powerful picture of 2007 Tour de France winner Contador and a bunch of fired up Astana teammates behind him. A minute and two seconds behind in fourth is Saunier Duval's Ricardo Ricco and Serramenti Diquigiovanni have parked two-time winner Gilberto Simoni at a still comfortable one minute and 31 seconds, in eighth. This is how the game is going to be, although Lampre might have something up their sleeves with Marzio Bruseghin, winner of the first time trial of the Giro, at 28s in third.
It is gonna be between those four or five, if LPR's defending champion Danilo di Luca, in fifth at one minute 07, gets it going. Or six, because Rabobank's Denis Menchov is also close. In seventh at 1.18s.
From now to the final stage. This is when stage racing gets me biting my fingernails. But I've named the winner already. It is gonna be Alberto Contador.
