This one is for Vicenzo Nibali to win the 15th stage of Giro d'Italia. This 15th stage is a Mountain Time Trial that is specific to this Grand Tour.
The stage will be almost 11km long and the riders will go uphill all the time. Nibali is the best and most experienced climber here so I think this will be very important.
If we take a look at the last 2 Mountain Time Trials(MTT) in the Giro we will see that the Overall winner in that year also won the MTT. In 2014 Quintana won the MTT and also won the General Classification while in 2013 it was Nibali who got the same results. This year favorite to win the GC is NIbali(2.5) so I would say his odds for the win in this stage should not be higher than 2.5.
Nibali came to this Giro with questionable form but he looks better every day. He still needs 45 seconds to get the leader jersey today so I think he will go full gas here.
Nibali is probably the best timetrialist among the climbers. This should prove really important today. He showed that in the 9th stage of Giro (a long flat Time Trial) when he came ahead of other powerful climbers like Chaves, Valverde, Kruiswijk or Landa.
