Froome19 said:Exactly my point.
He came 2nd in Lombardia 2011 and 5th last year at Liege.
thegrimpeur said:Maybe the perennial f***-up Cunego could hit top form for once.
Or then again maybe not.
Afrank said:I would like to see Gilbert get a couple, but gotta admit, his form isn't looking that great at the moment. It wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't do well.
Sagan will be a big contender for AGR I think, if he can hang with Gilbert (or whoever it is that breaks away on the cauberg) then he has a good shot of taking it. And he would most definitely deserve to take it after the classics season he's had.
I also think Dan Martin, Purito, Quintana, the colombians, Valverde, Gerrans, Voeckler, and Nibali could all do well. Vanendert also perhaps (if he wasn't hurt too bad from his crash at Pais vasco) might get a couple top 10's.
Of the above Nibbles, Gerrans, and Dan Martin especially I think could do very well.
Wiggins? No way. Porte, Froome or Henao, that's another story.Linkeballer said:I actually believe that Wiggins could win LBL.
Maybe its sounds strange, but if Sky can control the race, wiggo could finnish it.

Remember: no Roche aux Faucons this year. Wiggins is a guy who could complete a TT for the win like Nibali failed to do last year.42x16ss said:Wiggins? No way. Porte, Froome or Henao, that's another story.
Stupidly enough, his team isn't riding the Brabantse Pijl this year. He could have used that. Now he'll have to use the Amstel as training for Fleche and especially Liege, where I think he could still be good.Dekker_Tifosi said:Anyway, interested to see how Mollema will do. Top 10 in all 3 last years and was looking very good this year until he got sick prior to Pais Vasco. I hope that missing PV didn't hurt him too much
