Does anyone knows why Ruben Guerreiro isn't riding? Some days ago I checked and he was the only one on the provisional list, now he isn't even riding...

Because l'Avenir starts in five days perhaps?

Yeah I just saw he's scheduled for l'Avenir, that should explain it. Altough Tao Hart is riding and he's also riding Avenir I guess....

The race is pretty open this year. The top 3 from last year aren't here. The top 2 from Utah this year aren't here. For GC, your safest bet is to look at riders who have done well in Utah. Riders coming over from Europe might do well, they might not (because of altitude). Riders like Dennis and Formolo have even said they won't know how they are feeling until the racing gets started.

No Geoghegan Hart is not doing avenir, no one from this race is doing avenir, it overlaps.

Stage 2 and 3 could be good, I don't really know what to expect from stage 4, 2 years ago Sagan was 3rd on a stage that had the same profile.
The rest of the route is nearly as bad as the last Placebo album, this race could have a way better course.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Nice set of split in the peloton.

 

[May0maniac]

Even the main field looks small

 

[TourOfSardinia]

not so United

[More Strides than Rides]

Again, UHC drops itself. The pair will be staying away

 

[TMP402]

Great win Phinney.

 

[roundabout]

Another Bookwalter top-10 it seems

And I'm not sure where else he wins if not this race. Hopefully his team will prioritise him. BMC clearly the strongest team and can make something happen.

 

[johnymax]

Congrats Phinney. I was impressed with Brajkovic. He looked very strong. Maybe he can finally do a good race.

 

[May0maniac]

Grande Phinney!

 

[Carols]

Wow Taylor!!!! What a comeback from a horrible accident. Kid is simply amazing .

 

[jsem94]

Not a bad comeback..
