Giro D’Italia 2015 The other jerseys blog
So the Giro D’Italia will have battles outside of the Pink jersey so lets get our interests out there.
Giro D’Italia King of the Mountains
Stefano Pirazzi is the favourite and clearly its because of his mad attacking nature. I am trying to find a good climber who is strong but may be off the pace due to time trial weakness or likely have an off day but able to go for it in the mountains. As always small stakes on this market. Chaves is my first pick but I have as you can see gone for team duel threats, Both Orica and CCC strike me as teams that will see this jersey as there prefect chance to get the team name on the podium at the end of the race.

Giro D’Italia Points Jersey
This looks damn competitive. Nizzolo, Matthews, Modolo, Greipel and Viviani all head the market. Also a little left field are Lobato and Mezgec. Last years Mezgec would interest me but not so much on this season evidence. I like Modolo but even more so Matthews is a good choice as not only can he sprint with these he will also be taking on the more difficult stages and the jersey is an aim for him. A saver on the Italian Pelucchi at slightly inflated 50/1 odds.

Giro D’Italia Young Jersey
The young riders favourite is Aru with good reason as proven talent and his clear team leader to compete with all the field. Chaves has a chance to shine here but its minor stakes for me.

Giro D’Italia Team Competition
Astana, Sky and of Course Movistar come here with lots of talent and even it could be argued Tinkoff too. Those 4 teams of course head the market with Tinkoff and Sky seen as teams that might have to sacrifice riders to create race pace. But I am going take a shout on two slightly weaker teams but both with enoguh strength in depth and an interest in doing well in the team competition for the Giro D’Italia.
