Who will win 2014 Giro di Lombardia?

[Flamin]

Lots of cycling hearts are about to bleed after Sunday, so for the last time this year: who will win la classica delle foglie morte?

 

[Netserk]

Valverde biggest favourite.

Kwiatek or Gilbert if Valverde doesn't win.

Will Gerrans ride? edit: Apparently not. A shame, I think he should give it a try.

edit2: Forgot Martin. A dark horse. 4th favourite for the win imo.

 

[rick james]

Laurens Ten Dam...He says so on his facebook

 

[Dazed and Confused]

No doubt Katusha will come in strong, but I don't think Brown Power is done for the year.

The line up is spectacular, but many wants to hit the beach and play with the dolphins at this point.

Gilbert FTW.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Tony Gallopin was with the strongest guys in the WC RR. I'm predicting a smart conservative ride by him to make the front group after the final hill and then win with a late attack.

 

[Flamin]

I'm hoping for Kwiatkowski to pull a Bettini 2006, but I doubt he's been able to rest properly this week. Therefore Valverde for me too.

 

[LaFlorecita]

As long as Piti doesn't win, I'm happy.

 

[SeriousSam]

A genuine climber with punch, Valverde.

 

[Rollthedice]

Alejandro Valverde Belmonte.

 

[Parker]

I picked 'other'. Don't know which one, but an outsider will win.

 

[lemon cheese cake]

I picked Purito. The problem is i always seem to curse riders that i'll pick. I picked Contador for the Tour, and Quintana for the Vuelta. They then both crashed out

This is a typical attitude when you know your guy can't win, so you'd rather hope for others to lose.

No, I just don't like Piti. To think this is all about Contador is just absurd

 

[nobilis]

For someone who is a big fan of Contador, I don't really fathom you calling Valverde Piti.

Many call him that without any clinic innuendo.

 

[nobilis]

Yeah true, but in some contexts, it becomes a clinic innuendo.

 

[LaFlorecita]

yep

.............

 

[Angliru]

Valverde winning in Italy. What could be sweeter? I hope he does just to see and laugh at the flood of hate that will follow.

 

[nobilis]

Anyway, a bit OT, but I'll place an avatar bet if contador wins the WT ranking.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Valverde ftw San Sebastian-style!
He's in supershape and has been near dominant in one-day-races this season. Only thing literally preventing him from winning is letting strong outsiders like Kwiatkowski get a gap like in the worlds.

Valverde biggest favourite.

Kwiatek or Gilbert if Valverde doesn't win.

You want the forums to blow up bro?

 

[Red Rick]

Contador to win, Val Derde wordt uiteraard derde

 

[trevim]

Heart says Contador.
Wishful thinking says Gilbert or Costa.
Head says Don Alejandro. And it will look awesome in his record

Some people just want to watch the world burn

I would like Contador to win this OFC but that's just a dream... I'll go with Dani Martin... BTW Gilbert wont even make the Top5

 

[greenedge]

I picked Gilbert, he'll descend like a maniac and catch Aru, who will attack on the last hill.
