I’d put Senechal maybe two star and Stybar not on there, but I wouldn’t mind a Stybar win either.****Asgreen
***Senechal
**Stybar
Yeah, I'm hoping for a QS comeback.
Nothing in cycling would make me happier than a Stybar win but.....
Senechal has a handy sprint but yeah 2 is fair. I was getting a bit carried away! Only way I can see Stybar winning is if QS have 3-4 in the group and he sets off and everyone else looks at each other. He'd need to win solo.I’d put Senechal maybe two star and Stybar not on there, but I wouldn’t mind a Stybar win either.
Stibar doesn't win.

Judging from the flat profile of the race, it will be a bunch sprint, and Merlier will win.
Have you so little commitment to your Spring Classics team? If Stybar were to win, you would have very little chance of catching Otoxiep.but I wouldn’t mind a Stybar win either.
The level of commitment can be negated by an emotional win.Have you so little commitment to your Spring Classics team? If Stybar were to win, you would have very little chance of catching Otoxiep.

doesn't help that the forecast is quite warm as Roubaix goes. Not exactly Pedersens forté. He'd need a cold editionI'm very surprised Pedersen is seen almsot as an MvdP level favorite here.
almost nothing speaks for him, tbh. His record in Roubaix is as poor as it can get, his shape questionable, and the temperatures too warm.doesn't help that the forecast is quite warm as Roubaix goes. Not exactly Pedersens forté. He'd need a cold edition

Sure he may stand a chance, if he gets into the right move, same as every quick rider who is somewhat skillful on the cobbles - but man vs man, I wouldn't even see him as one of the 10 best for Roubaix.
This is a harsh take. Who are the ten guys that are better?almost nothing speaks for him, tbh. His record in Roubaix is as poor as it can get, his shape questionable, and the temperatures too warm.

So whoever wins this race is favourite for the Tour?
