Quintana won Emilia last year, do you have any idea what the finish of Emilia is like?

Oh I forgot he beat such a impressive punchers like Kess,Franco or Pozzovivo

 

[ILovecycling]

Yeah, he'll probably not win FW, but it's by far the least prestigious Ardennes classic. AGR will probably be second to Sagan who seems to be in great shape, but you never know. LBL is the race he has the most chance to win, it will be a tactical race though, so we'll see. Bad luck can always mess up someone's race.

Yea,pretty good prediction,btw. I dont like FW either,its uphill sprint,I always cheer for BotD to win it,but it never happens

 

[Netserk]

If Pozzo rode FW in the same shape he'd do in Trentino, then he could very well podium. But he always races Trentino, so it's a mood point.

The field sucks compared to FW, otherwise Gesink would've won a couple of FW already.

Gesink was pretty good in his first 2 FW (9th and 5th), after that he sucked because he was never in good shape in the ardennes classics anymore. But FW definately suits him

GVA is suited to every single one day race that isn't totally flat, but that doesn't mean he can win them. Same goes for Gesink and FW.

Sagans chances are way bigger at AGR than LBL, its easier for a group to drop him at Cote de Nicolas and then work together than to get enough distance at the Cauberg.

 

[Roderick]

Do you wanna bet that he'll win one of the three races?

The chance that he will win at least one out of three is imo bigger than the chance he's not winning any

 

[The Hitch]

As its so open could we maybe add a poll. Would be interesting to see who the collective wisdom says wins.

Iglinskiy
Nibali
Sanchez
Purito
Gilbert
Sky rider
Gerrans
Quintana
Valverde
Other

Seems like Pisti doesn't have the same faith.

I never do any forum bets, not because I don't have fate though.

I merely don't want an avatar(of a rider) or different sig, nor will I stop posting because of a bet lol.

Without crashes and mechanicals, Phil will do better than last year. That's what I'm saying.

What's so wrong with a Vino avatar?

I think Purito is most likely of the back of a Sky Train

wasn't wiggins supposed to ride LBL?

wasn't wiggins supposed to ride LBL?

I thought he would but looks like Trentino then rest before the Giro

 

[will10]

Looks like Wiggins has decided on Romandie instead of Liege after Trentino. Riding all three would be a little hectic.

He's not riding Romandie, Porte is leader at Romandie

Not Froome?

My bad missed Froome, yeah Froome is there and leader

sick line up

but the other teams will come prepared too. i hope everyone will work for JTL although i definitely can see another possible 4 LBL winners in that line up

i think froomey will go with the rolland attack. that might be game over for everyone.

 

[SafeBet]

SKY's lineup looks crazy good. I wonder what kind of tactics they'll come up with. Plenty of weapons there.

Should be a very open and fun race with no Sagan there.

Sky-Train until/on Saint-Nicolas, where Dawg will be unleashed.
