[RedheadDane]

Lest we forget! Tirreno-Adriatico starts tomorrow.

Here's the startlist

Unfortunately Schachmann is doing the Tour, and is therefore missing a golden opportunity for the first P-N+T-A double in the history of ever.

Stop ninjaing into the middle of my stage overview!

Just to clarify: F_Cance moved his post, I don't have some future-seeing powers.

 

[F_Cance]

I was a bit too fast.

1. Fuglsang
2. Yates
3. Nibali

 

[SafeBet]

Matteo Jorgenson is the next blablabla will win his first WT race here.

 

[Velolover2]

Fuglsang vs. Vlasov

There are four (!) stages for puncheurs/climbers.

 

[Rollthedice]

Froome against Nibali party like it's 2013.

 

[RedheadDane]

Fuglsang vs. Vlasov

There are four (!) stages for puncheurs/climbers.

Hopefully Astana will be able to get them to not ride against each other.

FUGLSOV FTW!

 

[SafeBet]

Let's hope MvdP brings his Lombardia climbing legs. Could be fun.

 

[Eclipse]

It's going to be a lot of fun.

Nibali won't factor much imo but Yates vs Fulgsov could be great and the Ineos recovery roadshow will be interesting

 

[bob.a.feet]

Fuglsang will win. Vlasov will be strong too. As will Yates, but the Astana duo will be too much for him. Thomas and Froome, who knows what to expect? I really hope for a good showing from Nibali.

With the new calendar, Tirenno will be to the Giro what the Dauphiné is to the Tour.

 

[yaco]

This is a serious stage race for both GC and sprinters - Doubt too much will be held back.

 

[KZD]

The Fuglsang - Vlasov duo will destroy this race.

Van der Poel will win a stage.

 

[Red Rick]

Nibali to probably be competitive but not great.

Are starting times adjusted so they don't clash with the Tour so much?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Stage 6 is syphilitic. Putting a totally flat stage at that point in the race is a complete waste of the additional day. The rest of this looks pretty good.

 

[BlueRoads]

This race is a catastrophe. I have almost no riders here who can score points for my cq-game.
Apart from that it's probably going to be pretty good...

Ineos' startlist is rather crazy. While the Tour is going on they have Thomas, Froome and Rohan Dennis for this, supported by Ganna, TGH and Eddie Dunbar. Meanwhile no KillaBeez for Jumbo here, only hard working ants.
Fuglsang for the win.

Took me until your post to notice cause I was busy celebrating the lack of TTT.

Said Tirreno is part two of a training block started in the Dolomites. A stage win would be nice though. All that's left until the Giro is Apenninno and... Worlds.
