I think Vino does a pretty good job (doping issues aside), and he and Nibali seem to be made for each other. Landa would be an idiot to go to Sky. Froome is top dog and every one else is expendable. I don't see Sky ever winning the Giro. Their strength is the supporting team and the Tour always favors the stronger team. A strong team doesn't get you quite as far in the Giro, as Astana found out the hard way this year.
