Roglic

wow! where do I sign for that?
THAT I would like, yes

(or Ruben Plaza Chaves Nordhaug Poels)

but I guess I'll see Fabian Sagan GVA Stybar and co going for it

 

[barmaher]

Great course, great field.

I am now excited. Nibali, Cancellara and Valverde are on form. Sagan, GVA and Stybar could all do something exciting.

Benoot, Chaves, Jungels, Vakoc...Lots of riders who could do something good if given a bit of leeway.

Re: Re:

That would be pretty dumb Rosa had a great Strade Bianche last year

I obviously agree, but Martinelli wants to test him in a one week WT race.

Astana probably needs to understand if he can be a GT captain in case Nibali leaves next year.

Yup, that seems to be the safe bet.

Since Maxim aint around no more to take a 2nd victory here i will cheer for Rebellin, i think Ulissi will do well here too!

 

[Tonton]

Nizzolo? Ferrari? Modolo? Bennati? These sprinters have no chance.

My pick is Valverde. He seems really...hot....at the moment.

Yep. I vote Valverde as well.

This Is the first time I can watch this race. The last years I either forgot about it or had something to do on the raceday
Ps: Why is kwiat not riding

Probably something went wrong in the Sky labs and they have to reprogram him.

1 - Nibali
2 - Sagan
3 - Stybar

 

[DBotero]

Valverde ftw!

 

[TourOfTexas]

Interesting that Sep Vanmarke isn't racing. He was almost in the finale last year.

Really, that's the best rubbish you can come up with?

 

[pastronef]

of the 6 riders in the poll, I'd prefer others to win. but if I had to choose from them I'd choose GVA

If you feel offended by this attempted innocent joke, please accept my apology. Though I know it's wrong, sometimes I just can't help it. I promise you and all the Sky fans in this wonderful forum that I will go cold turkey and stop posting any comment about your beloved team.

Weird that Felline isn't riding.

Re:

I agree. If not for the purpose of giving Felline his own chance, then he could atleast assist Fabian. The team Trek is sending to back up Fabian isn't exactly too strong.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

GvA to win in beautiful fashion.

Nizzolo? Ferrari? Modolo? Bennati? These sprinters have no chance.

My pick is Valverde. He seems really...hot....at the moment.

Ferrari is pretty versatile. I would not be surprised if he could do a top 10 in a race like this. Benna is just doing the dom work for Sagan. Molodo and Nizzolo have no chance, of course.

Bennati did a pretty good ride here a few years ago, didn't he? Also, I would back Nizzolo for a top 10 over Ferrari, though both scenarios are very unlikely.

Many years ago, it was 2009 when he was in Liquigas colours.

No, I found out. I was thinking of the 2012 edition.

Rubbish? Bile? Seriously, how can you guys get your panties in a wad over that?? It was a joke, and not even a very malicious one. How can you possibly get offended by that?
