I predict Matti Breschel for the win today. Yesterday he showed that he is very good at this kind of racing, and on the Saxo Bank homepage he says he will try again in the coming days.
He was a bit unlucky yesterday having to close the gap to the Acqua Sapone rider, just to get outsprinted by Gerdeman. He is normally very fast in a small group sprints and sometimes in larger groups as well. Imagine if he had Cancellara as a lead out man in a small group.
I really hope this is the year where he breaks throug and win one of the 260km classics, but Saxo Bank has a very strong team for the classics. He has his best chance in Paris Roubaix or Milan San Remo I think.
Is it possible to stay in good shape from Milan San Remo all the way to Liege Bastogne Liege or perhaps only Amstel. He is a podium contender in all those races, but so are a lot of other guys at Saxo Bank.
