What team wins the rainbow jersey?

For the men's road race, obviously.

Hard for me to look past Sagan, GVA, and Matthews. Course seems really good for Sagan but I think the Italians and/or Belgians may team up on him somehow. Home advantage and a favorable course for the Norwegians but can they finally work together? I doubt it. It'll probably be Sagan or a Belgian but something is saying Bling to me.

I went for Italy. I just feel like they're flying a bit under the radar but with enough good options to do something in the finale. For some reason having a super strong team (on paper) in WCRR always creates problems on the road. Read: Spain in recent times. Viviani and Trentin are both in great form, Ulissi won in Canada, Moscon had a ridiculous Vuelta.....

Daryl Impey will win this bike race

Probably Sunweb

Personally I would like to see Alaphilippe or Gaviria in the rainbow stripes, but as a whole team I think Italy has the best chances.

Belgium is so strong it's ridiculous. So many of their riders could win it. I'm sure they're gonna be attacking a lot to kill the chances of any strong sprinters.

Netherlands: Dumoulin to launch a late attack and hold off the remaining contenders, scooping up his third Gold medal in the process.
