This has written Enrico Battaglin all over it.

the cobbled classics are starting again, so I'm pushing this related topic to the top :)

Giampaolo Caruso will win this stage. You heard it here second.

STAGE7: San Salvo - Pescara 177 kms Technical overview: Very hilly stage, 177 kms with only 4 categorised climbs, but there are more of them. The riders will have to face a lot of climbing from the very start of the stage, without long flat sections. Of this lot of climbs, the most...

STAGE5: Cosenza - Matera 203 kms Technical overview: 203 kms, most of which along a windy coast and with a hilly finale. A stage not to be underestimated. These are the final kms: The wall of Montescaglioso is 3 kms long at over 8% average, with some steeper sections. The...

It is not really a big secret that the 2013 Giro is not exactly tailor-made for the typical bunch sprinters in the field. Usually in Grand Tours there are a little more stages favoring the likes of Cavendish and his colleagues. So it's not surprising at all that many sprinters didn't...

***** Sagan, Gilbert **** Rodriguez, Valverde, Gerrans *** Iglinskiy, Voeckler, Cunego, ** Martin, Gasparotto, Mollema, Moser, Quintana, Costa and a couple of others

The Cobbled Classics are over, now the week of the Ardennes Classics is ahead. Amstel Gold Rade Fleche Wallone and Liege-Bastogne-Liege will be the highlights of the following weeks. But who will shine, who will disappoint? Who will contend the races and who will be the...

Stannard already crashed :) Sky will fail totally today. I predict they won't get any riders in the top 50!

do you really think boom will get good results in most of those races? I'd be surprised. My Pick: Sagan Boonen Cancellara Turgot Roelandts Pozzato Thomas @mods: I know that this would probably besser fit in the Games section, but since it already starts on Friday could you...

In this forum there are often discussions about who is going to win a certain race or who would feature in certain finishes, but the guys finishing regularly in the top 10 or 20, but just not getting the wins don't get that much praise for their consistency. So this thread is about who will...

I have to pick two riders out of Hushovd, Paolini, Chavanel, Breschel and Turgot that's a tough choice, if you would have to rank them according to how many points they will score in E3, Ghent, Ronde and Roubaix combined, how would you rank them? My guess would be: 1. Turgot 2. Paolini 3...

So who are you guys thinking are the best picks to feature in E3, Ghent and Flanders?

So it's Boaro, Clement, Pagani and De Negri in the break, they will battle it out against Stannard, Thomas, Flecha and Eisel!

So, what do you think about the Androni boys today? Will Ferrari and Felline both contest the sprint or just Ferrari? What results will they get?
