LOL, you could have copy-pasted the entire startlist there instead.Notable sprinters: Magnus Cort
No need, we already know who would win that one.Pogacar vs Roglic vs Yates. Doesn't get much better than that. We just needed Remco here to complete the battle between the big 4.
There goes my theory that Roglic and Pogacar are avoiding each other.
It hardly ever happens that the three top favorites all finish on the podium. Probably at least one other will sneak in. Landa and Chaves will lose time in the time trial, so Mas, Schachmann and Mollema look more likely. I also wonder if Hugh Carthy can confirm his good Vuelta.Pogacar, Yates and Roglic normally for the podium.
But who will be the best of the rest? My bet: Izagirre
Be interesting to see if anyone can take off from the ramp at the end of the ITT.
All I can predict is that I want to watch this race.
I wouldn't mind doing so either, but last week free to air tv in Australia showed Catalunya, yet they are not showing Roglic vs. Pogacar next week![]()
The Bora squad looks really solid with Buchmann, Schachmann, Kelderman and Konman.
Maybe you need to hope that ASO buys Izulia Basque Country in the near future.
What Mas? Did you watched him this year? Also, this short, steep stuff isn't exactly his thing...It hardly ever happens that the three top favorites all finish on the podium.

Oh yeah. If he has a Valter legs, he will do even better here...Mas has a teammate which is much more likely to do a good result here, actually.
