Voted Conty as I want him to seal up the WT. Would also be a nice season's end and motivator for Gilbert who this year is finally starting to show gleams of his old self.

Yup, it'll be so cool to see Valverde wheelsucking his way to winning.Angliru said: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.

Maaaaaaaarten said:Oh wait, I didn't realize Betancur was riding. What is the weather forcast? If it's cold, he might do well, because his fat should help him stay warm.
SeriousSam said:Maybe. I think Gerrans would still have won.
grizzlee said:we will never know, but Dan has a pretty good sprint and had a good lead. I dont like Gerrans so im probably a bit biased.
impossible 3 times in a rowArredondo said:Purito will win this ofcourse. Lombardia is his race, he's got the team and the legs to do it.
(Hey, you must have a little hope, don't you?)
tbh as for me, nobody. I dont have a clue,so I havent bet yet. Maybe a surprise winner from italian teams or something.Flamin said:Who are the 'other'-voters fancying?

lemon cheese cake said:I agree. Just look at stage 4 of the Vuelta when Micheal Matthews beat him. He held Matthews off till the last corner.
yeah i am disappointed Gerro will not be riding. Netserk is that Brett Lancaster?Netserk said: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.
