I’ll pick Pidcock. Only because he’s been going well since he switched teams and the Poggio descent so soon before the finish really suits his skills.

The X factor is Pogacar. I think his best (albeit slim) chance is to launch on the Cipressa and hope nobody has his wheel before the Poggio. He needs the right wind conditions. If there is any headwind between Cioressa and Poggio it won’t be possible. But he’s Pogacar so he can’t be ruled out.
 
All your fantastic puns aside, fwiw Van der Poel would count as a surname starting with a P in Dutch.

The big question is whether one of Van der Poel and Pogacar can go solo, if not then I expect another Mohoric/Stuyven calibre rider winning with a late attack. If the latter gets added to the startlist, then Ganna and Tarling could be the perfect one-two punch for those final kilometres.
 
Nibali's milan sanremo win is his greatest win and 2018 was obviously the greatest edition of milan sanremo (although 2019 was good also).
Yes. But as was pointed out to me, Nibali’s amazing feat was only possible because they didn’t react until it was too late. Pog won’t have that luxury. But then he is Pog so who knows, his rivals, including MVDP will be nervous.
