[Arredondo]

This is going to be a Quintana/Mareczko show.

 

[Kwibus]

Tvetcov ftw

 

[Netserk]

Since they are in the southern hemisphere, where gravity works opposite compared to the northern hemisphere, Fatancur will roll up the climbs and dominate!

LoL.
WHAT?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

This will be a Brajkovic/Ebsen/Tommy D vs the locals show.

 

[Erythropoietin]

These early season races are hard to predict. You don't know who's in shape and who's still fat after christmas. Cavendish supposedly in decent shape though. Anyone else have inside info?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

There is no real competition to Cav in the bunch sprints here.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

They're climbing all the way to Sierra de los Comechingones! Hallelujah! This is where cycling begins for the year!

 

[Wallenquist]

There is no real competition to Cav in the bunch sprints here.

And yet he won't win a stage

 

[Jspear]

And yet he won't win a stage

I wouldn't put it passed him!
Hoping to see Bentacur performing well...is that to much to wish for?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

And yet he won't win a stage

He will have to fucced it up then.

Dombrowski

yeaaaa
good for nairo

 

[Wallenquist]

Jokes aside, Cav usually starts a season with a bang and he's hungry of racing so might be good in San Louis actually, Etixx squad is filled with 4 domestiques and Kwiato so i guess they are expecting Cave to fight for stage wins. We should see some nice duels against Modolo.

 

[Lupetto]

Double chin power!!!

 

[Erythropoietin]

Hmm, this is Betancur looking fat, isn't it? If so he shouldn't do well in Argentina. Yet he was optimistic about his chances in a recent interview.

 

[Netserk]

The last stage seems to end slightly downhill, so maybe Fatancur can beat Cavendish in the sprint

 

[Ruudz0r]

This is not fat for Betancur, I think he will be good in San Luis

 

[Christian]

Man, we laugh about Betancur but it would be amazing if he could repeat his early form from last season, when he dominated Paris-Nice while STILL being overweight... heck he even beat Degenkolb in a sprint in Haut-Var... I really hope we get to see that beast again this season!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Great parcours! I hope to see Betancur dominate

 

[Red Rick]

Somebody make this is a WT race along with some other South American races.
