One of two things is happening then, he's either being cocky and going to burn himself out before the real mountain stages, or he's being cocky and he has the form to back it up and no one else in this 88th edition has a chance.
There is a 3rd option... what if Lampre is as they said they are giving Simoni the Giro and Cunego the Tour. Maybe Cunego is just out there getting publicity for the team in the early going and wearing out the competition who have to follow him if he goes and Simoni who will be well rested will take over later in the high mountains?
but it may just be that he's the new superman in the sport.. I think this maybe a real possibility too.
