Rai are broadcasting all three races live again, but if last year is anything to go by, finding a good stream could be a challenge.

RAI will have to be almost insane not to make these races available on the net for global fans once they spend money on live TV production. But hey stranger things has happened.

Modolo was in great recently, I think he can take two wins and Rolland will drop everybody on the uphill finish.
 
It's time for Lutsenko boy to start bringing some pain. We're all witnesses. The whole Astana team looks good actually, with Ponzi and Gavazzi both ideal for a reduced bunch sprint.

Bardiani with a very good team indeed. Modolo is in great shape and could go one-two in Agostoni and Bernocchi. I'm expecting something from Battaglin as well, he was decent in Matteotti a month ago and should be fully recovered from his horrible crash during the Giro. And don't forget the antisocial hero Pirazzi.

Of course one should hope The Little Prince will come out of shades and deliver some results on home soil but this has been a lost season. Maybe he's just declining. But look out for Luca Wackermann, he was excellent last year here and looked in great shape during Eneco Tour.

Other riders worth mentioning: Arredondo, Baliani, Sella, Chernetskiy and of course Delfino + Rebellin.
