I like that they've added this new climb called the Poggio to make it harder for a sprinter to win.
Joking aside, Pun Pegenkolb is my dark horse.

You seen him descend?I don't see how Pidcock actually wins this. He's not gonna drop Pogacar and Van der Poel on Poggio and he's not gonna win a sprint in almost any group.
Mads P. is my choice. If the weather’s bad, great for him. Plus he been climbing out of his skin this week so I think he makes it to the final.I think it's rather safe bet to say that someone whose surname starts with P will win.
Ogacar loses again!I think it's rather safe bet to say that someone whose surname starts with P will win.
It's a hard swallow.If mvp wins this I’ll eat my hat!
LiegeTP will win.
Tell MadsDoesnt matter. Only in the descent, right?
Merckx 7 Pogacar 0Block headwind on Poggio....
Almost as if Spielberg had directed it.SHARK!
Tis different in Belgium but they simply just do it wrongly. Then there's WvA, who does it correctly because his name is Dutch. Always found that little trivia funny.All your fantastic puns aside, fwiw Van der Poel would count as a surname starting with a P in Dutch.
I actually came back to ask this. I assumed that was the case, but wasn't really sure. Didn't realise that they did it differently in Belgium, tooAll your fantastic puns aside, fwiw Van der Poel would count as a surname starting with a P in Dutch.
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.Nibali's milan sanremo win is his greatest win and 2018 was obviously the greatest edition of milan sanremo (although 2019 was good also).
Wind from NE means mostly tailwind or cross-tail right?Still too early to say, but meteoblue has the bad weather Friday and nice on Saturday.
