What were his times in previous Tirreno's?DNP-Old said:Dennis in 2018: 11:14

Yeah, wind and such might be different, but this difference is too big to downplay. He is missing his BMC wondermachine.
Headwind seems to be quite important though (second part of the course). That doesn't favour the climber-types.Velolover2 said:I'm almost 100% sure that Yates will win this race. Gap between top 20 is not that big. We are talking 20 seconds.

Yeah, but with such shorts gaps and his winner gene, it should be almost impossible for him to throw the victory away. 25 secs is a hyyyuge advantage.Jagartrott said:Headwind seems to be quite important though (second part of the course).
