Belgians looking very good with fantastic depth. But, they have to work together and they will be closely marked.
Australia, OTOH has a squad with riders who can get away, not heavily marked as long as Evans helps.
Super-happy to see Eric Marcotte on the start list. The development situation is so poorly run from the top-down in the U.S. an athlete with a regular job is nationlal champion. I'm sure USA Cycling is giving him the cold shoulder. "Eric who?? Are you Tejay's assistant?"
That's not a dig at Marcotte personally. It's about the corrupt, broken system in the U.S.

But it really is anyone's race. Sprinters, puncheurs, classics guys - all of them stand a chance depending on how the race unfolds.
TheGreenMonkey said:95% chance we will have a group of 40+ riders together at the bottom of the Mirador climb on the last lap. It is then going to be up to the attackers to attack and the chasers to chase. I hope the attackers make it but I am not confident they are going to.
Kwibus said:It's possible for the attackers, see u23 and the women quintet would've stayed away if they worked together, but that's exactly the problem. The climb isn't hard enough so you will likely have a group of 4-6 riders together at the top and than what?

Red Rick said:Stef Clement: "Road Captain, don't ****ing call me that. Luca Paolini, that's road captain, cause they have a favourite to win. If you build Italy or Spain like a ship, we're a dinghy. That's why I'm captain. We're like a little Greenpeace dinghy maneuvring between those big ships, looking for a rainbow jersey"
