Sagan is obviously in top form (when was the last time he wasn't?), so picking the winner looks easy. The hill will take out a couple of pure sprinters.

Looking more forward to a slightly uphill finish. Thor had the best of Sagan last year, probably due to experience. Boonen could do the same this year, even though Sagan has one more year of experience in his legs.

Cancellara to attack in the descent and take the victory.

yeah, and sagan in his back on his wheel, maybe also helping him to gain some time on other, mainly outsprinting him in the finish, I don't think fabian will do this. I don't see this to be the winning strategy for him, unless he makes the escape when peter is in the back and cannot respond to him. Maybe if he had power to attack a little bit before reaching the top of the ascent, providing that sagan has not the strength to follow him, then he could be successful. However, I guess the odds are on sagans side this time.
