Remco definitely is in the mix if he goes early. With small teams he is exactly the guy who will benefit from some hesitation

Can't wait for the Austrian broadcast to switch to field hockey or something like that right before the Mikuni climb because none of the guys working there have a clue about cycling.

Yes and the commentators will be impressed by the insane effort in the heat of the Asian mountains and give him a ticket to the Olympics in Paris. The classic

Just wait till Roglic crashes out in the first hour of the race.

I hope not as I am getting out of bed at 6am UTC+1 which is too late for what Remco calls going early
The timing of this is excellent for us PST people...get to stay up until 1:30 on a Friday, drinking beer with no work in the morning. 
First time I think I've said any of that for a big race.

I saw a short clip with the Austrian riders, they looked like scared hostages.
Malori has Kwait as his pick, a dangerous outsider.
he is my favorite rider but yes I do belive he has issues with distance

It's actually easy if you directly compare his results in monuments and classics of silimar nature that are only around the 200km mark. He tends to underperform in monuments compared to shorter one day races, especially if you actually pay attention to the context of how he won that monument.
His sprints falls off really hard after a hard race. He's perhaps the worst example of that.
Absolutely! I just posted somewhere else that it’s too bad Seattle doesn’t have some “cycling bars” the way we have “soccer bars” so I know I could go watch with a bunch of other cycling fans.The timing of this is excellent for us PST people...get to stay up until 1:30 on a Friday, drinking beer with no work in the morning.

My Internet was down and I was really worried, this is rural Costa Rica on a Friday! Fortunately it was fixed and now I am more excited than ever for the race, as if I were a kid.
If either Pog or Rog don't win, I'd be somewhat surprised. I can see them both figuring in a final reduced bunch sprint. But the wild card is the heat. And it's a LONG race; so i could also see a "last man standing" situation where someone out of a group of 20 gets away and the remainder are too tired/disorganized to follow. But I have no idea who that rider might be.
If the racing schedule is brutal beforehand then it can happen. This time this is not the case. Unless they made any special agreement i feel that we will likely see both Slovenians going over the Mikuni together. Unless i guess Pogačar still feels the Tour in his legs a bit too much. In my opinion Team Slovenia is the team to beat in RR. Basically a dream team.
As for the basketball dream team. Here Team Slovenia will still likely at least try.
