Giro d'Italia 2015: Richie Porte to lead Team Sky squad

The australian will lead team sky at Giro, which starts today, he will be the leader of a team of nine cyclists, without any british one. After winin Giro del Trentino, Paris-Nice and Volta Catalunya, he will try to win Giro d'Italia. Giro is his main goal of the year, but it will have lots of avsences, like Nairo Quintana or Nivali, who will compete in Tour de France, like his team mate Chris Froome.

Opinion

In my opinion he's really strong this season, but it will be difficult to win the Giro, because he will have to compete against Contador, who I think is the favourite, and I hope he will win the Giro. Porte's team is a really strong one, maybe the strongest one, what's strange is that there isn't any british one, and more knowing that the team is british.
