and Evans, Contador and Boonen. Too bad none of them are riding except for Valverde.El Pistolero said:Sagan is the only main favorite here. Cancellara and Valverde are a level below.
Don't think Sagan's racing, he's not listed on cyclingfevers startlist. And Radioshack isn't racing either.El Pistolero said:Sagan is the only main favorite here. Cancellara and Valverde are a level below.

I think this is the first time Valverde races in Italy since CONI banned him from racing there. If he wins expect the middle finger salute on the finish line.Mad Elephant Man said:This looks like something Valverde could win.

Probably because he knows they'll test him extra in Italy. This isn't a vendetta because he's only punishing himself by not racing the prestigious Italian races like the Giro di Lombardia, Milan-San Remo, Giro del Piemonte, Strade Bianche(which he's finally racing this year), Giro d'Italia, etclukinox said:I think this is the first time Valverde races in Italy since CONI banned him from racing there.
