After the last few epic races on cobbles, I can't wait for the white roads of Italy to come. For the last 3 years it was always one of my favorite races of the season. This is proof that not the riders but the course in itself make the race. Stade Bianche never disappoints. At least in my eyes. I really hope they get the WT-status so every top team will send decent riders. That would make it even more awesome. The last few editions have been superb and this race is already a fan favorite. Will EQS make it 3 in a row with Kwiatkowski, Stybar and now maybe Vakoc (who seems to be in good form lately)?

I think you forgot something mate.
I think he just meant that the last two winners were from EQS and if Im not completely wrong kwiat rode for etixx in 2014

GVA is alright on rainy conditions right? If that so he is my favorite for this one especially after what he showed in Omloop. That sprint at the end was just incredible and I think this might be the year GVA will dominate the classics!

Why did a rider like Cadel never win more of these races?

He didnt race Eroica becouse he prepared GTs, but he would have been a big favourite.

Is there any other race like that 1. HC? :confused:

Looking at the broadcasting schedule, I'm afraid we'll all have to find a RAI stream to see the best part of the race :eek: Eurosport goes live at 14.15, when the race is scheduled to be already on Monte S. Marie...

Not at all, that was a fun race to watch, I also liked that combination.
At least this year we'll get to see a 50min long highlights video of the GP Industria & Artigianato on Rai Sport 2 on Sunday at 20:25.

A pity Tim Wellens doesn't race this, I think he's well suited to this course, especially when it rains like in that epic Eneco stage last year

Well at least, if it rains the race might be a bit slower. I just hope that I'll find any streams to watch the race because I think Eurosport Germany wont even show the final :(

Well, Eurosport 2, which I don't have :eek:
However I guess Eurosport England will also only show the race on ES2, right? At the end it doesnt really matter because I can't watch the race on TV anyway :(

What happens to the white roads if it pours down?
Roughly this

That is pre extreme weather protocol.
Italians dont give a fig about some french pu*sy protocols :p :D
Jep, and Cancellara has a good chance of winning the race, so nobody will call for a neutralisation. :D

Muddy roads? Should already be in the bag for Stybar :p

F*ck this. I was looking forward to a 2u30 broadcast at least, and than I see this. Belgian TV goes live at 13.45, Rai at...?

little to no believe in Benoot here? He certainly has a chance if it rains and he is as good as in Montreal or the last stage in Belgium last year.

Dissapointed that Sporza doesn't go live at 13:25 as well, but 13:45 is ofcourse better then 14:15.
I will set my recorder that's for sure :)

Weather forecast now changing a little bit. It shoudn't rain in the morning, but possible showers in the afternoon. Wind could be a factor too.

I knew it. The sky itself will troll us by starting to rain just as the race finishes. :eek:
