[Opalius]

Ugh. Abbreviation template makes for a dull thread…

Looking forward to see Quintana at the Giro, and really hope that he'll win it. It will give him the confidence and team backing to take on the Tour champion of '15.

Whatever happens in the Tour I hope that Froome will be pressed to his maximum. Nothing like dull Grand Tour, where the winner is already decided within the first few days.

Vuelta is the most open I think. Fresh second-tier guys, versus first-tier, though tired, Tour contenders.

As for the classics, I just hope that we will see an epic clash between Cancellara, Sagan and Boonen, with all three riding their best. I do love the surprise winners, however. You know the race will have been real exciting.

And from the red and white heart: Breschel and Mørkøv to do well. Doubt Fuglsang will do much. Having his GT ambitions strippped away from him will likely cause him to underperfom big time.

Oh yes… Go go Contador!

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Hope we can see Cancellara vs. Boonen both in top shape again. Add Sagan and Stybar stepping up and Vanmarcke not being injured in the early season and the classics will be super exciting this year! Really looking forward to it.

Contrary to my previous prediction, I'll predict/hope for an epic battle between Cancellara and Sagan, with a conclusion where Sagan get's Ciolecked by Boonen in PR or RVV.
