Anything? You mean what? Anything extraordinary? Anything anything?I'll be very surprised if anything happens.
That would bean interesting new style of over/under bettingUnderrated stage. From the second hill to the last sprint is >130kms with no flat on twisty roads. How do you control that?
A prediction: there will be a new maglia rosa in Cesenatico.
Another prediction: Fuglsang to either win or lose 20 mins.
I think he means it literally. Race cancelled overnight, nothing happens on the course tomorrow in regards to cycle racing.Anything? You mean what? Anything extraordinary? Anything anything?
My Instagram friendly betting pool has Sagan as the favorite. I think it's a little too tough for him. Do the oddsmakers agree?
Thanks. I went with Fulgsang. Long shot but I'm behind in pool and need a miracle.Oddsmakers have Sagan as slight favourite.
It is probably 70% chance of being too hard for him, however if it isn't then he probably has a 50% chance of winning (not taking breakaway into consideration).
If it is too hard for him then there a more contenders for the stage, reducing each of those individuals riders chances.
hard to say, it could also be 100k of great gc action instead. Given the uncertainty about the continuation of the race, I would tend to say it's going to be spectacular.I'll be very surprised if anything happens.
Easy win for Filippo Ganna.
A very good summing up of why he is favourite. Could well be too much climbing for Sagan although he can win from main group or break if on another amazing day but if he is not able to contest then there are 30+ riders who would fancy their chances from a small break or of the GC guys with some finishing kick like Almeida if it comes back together.Oddsmakers have Sagan as slight favourite.

Just frustated that he has no legs this yearSo De Gendt said he thinks the organisations are covering up positives and he's feeling unsafe.
