I still think AGR is the one where he can produce a good result, RVV and P-R are too hard for him (and he isn't that great on riding on the cobbles). He was after all 2nd in worlds 2012 on a course that best resemblance AGR of the classics. But, he will probably insist on trying to do a good resultat in RVV and P-R this year again.

After 45km, group up the road with 2:45:

Honkisz (CCC), Txurruka (Caja Rural-RGA), Ten Dam (Belkin), Dumoulin (Giant-Shimano), Fuglsang (Astana), Gerdemann (MTN), Wellens (Lotto), Megías (Novo Nordisk), Arredondo (Trek)

Pretty solid, but don't think anyone are a threat GC wise.

I rode along this road from ronda to el burgo a few months ago, but i was going in the opposite direction! Hard work with a heavy trail bike and pannier

I know he's a fan but the truth is that Txurruka's killer instinct is virtually non existent. I guess that's Amets magic :D

ebh doens't have the engine anyway to win a classics over 200 km and don't come with his tirreno stages. I'[m talking real one day classics. so where is he supposed to shine in? he's great itt, but will never be world class. he can't climb well enough for serious gc's and his sprint is not goodf enough for massprints. I'm sure ebh himself has already settled with the fact he will become a very strong domestique when in form and if not he doesn't have a good future in cycling

Though Gabriel Rasch told Richard Moore a week or two ago he thinks EBH is best suited to Milan-Sanremo.

Actually he finally won a stage and the GC last year, so he finally got it right :)

I remember that but for so much attacking throughout his career he got too few wins.
