My favorite early single day race.


I'm really curious about what GVA, Vanmarcke & Boom can do in this race, having performed greatly on RRV, which resembles somewhat to SB as far as the rough terrain & the climbs (SB's longer & steeper)



other than that, I'd go with Sagan, Valpiti & Cance

He looks like a character from A Clockwork Orange or Rocky Horror.

nahh he has nothing on Kubrick's madmen

Cheers my oh brothers


creepy only if I remember watching it ,grrrr.

 

[ILovecycling]

I'll pass it, but only because you already made a bet with Hugo Koblet. I will gladly do it in some other race, like Flanders for example

ok cobarde

Hugo,deal done

about the race: I think Tinkoff can control the race to some point, then god know what happens,its strade!

Same here

Weird photo, but now it's even better!

 

[Eshnar]

We have an official startlist

I wanted to post the startlist right now
Good, Lutsenko is riding Strade Bianche, he could be in the top 5.
A long range attack by Pirazzi or de Marchi would also be great.

 

[ILovecycling]

Terpstra as 51,does it mean he will be a leader?

 

[GP Blanco]

We have an official startlist

Thanks, I like the combination of cobbled and hilly riders in the teams.

 

[shalgo]

I'm interested to see what, if anything, Vanmarcke can do here. He has shown great form in Omloop and KBK, but he has never participated in Strade Bianche, as far as I know.

 

[De Snelle Duif]

is this the first race ever where both the Nibali brothers compete?

I don't know but they can't have worse tactics than the Schlecks

It's not. They both raced Camaiore last year. And maybe even the National Championship.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Lutsenko ftw.

 

[ralphbert]

Excited to see Canuc and Sagan go head to head for the first time this year

+ Memorial Pantani, Tre Valli Varesine, Coppa Agostini, Coppa Bernocchi

I am not sure, cause i didn't see the images, but just based on the results, hasn't sagan been 5th or something in Oman in stage, where Cancellara won?

Yes.

10 chars....

This has never been raced in the rain. It's about time.

I believe there was a wet edition, but not too sure.

 

[May0maniac]

It should be sunny but it looks like we could get some wind.

 

[luckyboy]

They have all been dry in the past, maybe you're thinking of the Montalcino stage in the 2010 Giro.

 

[SafeBet]

Wind was absolutely brutal today in Tuscany but it should decrease by Saturday.

 

[willbick]

like PR its doomed to be dry forever

What do people think of Peter Kannaugh? Anyone think that he has a chance?
