Who will win Gent-Wevelgem?

[Marco Pantani]

Will it be a sprinters fest, or will the cobble specialists make the race hard from far out?

Wide open again, like last friday.

I don't see it as being particularly wide open. Sunny with not a lot of wind in Wevelgem tomorrow. Tons of teams here looking for a sprint. If someone gets away late, he's gonna have to be pretty strong.

Also, the poll includes Cav but he won't be racing tomorrow, as he's out sick.

 

[Marco Pantani]

I missed the news on Cav, sry for that one.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Plenty of teams with zero chance in a bunch sprint.
It will be raced harder on the bergs than at E3 no doubt.
Looking forward to it, hopefully we get to see the mid race action on TV.

Anyway I see Sagan on the top step again.

I voted Sagan because that's who I honestly think will take the win. But, I'd like to see Farrar take it. He's been up there in the last couple of races....hopefully he'll be able give that little bit extra for the win.

It's amazing he wasn't won anything big in so long, given how close he keeps coming. You would think he's only a tiny push away from a victory. I hope that's the case. Garmin's got a pretty good team out there to help him win, too.

Voted for Sagan,but Kristoff and Degenkolb are as good contenders.Degenkolb looked great yesterday.

 

[RedheadDane]

I'll go with Sagan too. Because it just seems like the obvious choice.

 

[roosters76]

I sense Lotto-Belisol all over this one.

Greipel if a bunch sprint, or Roelandts solo win

 

[tomorrow]

voted sagan, but degenkolb and krisstoff will be very motivated to win, especially degenkolb, who looked very good yesterday.
On the other hand, ****ed cancellara might actually make it so hard, that there will be reduced group sprint without these two, and sagan will take it. G-W is imho not hard enough for cancellara to drop sagan, terpstra, stybar ...

I agree with you on Cancellara. He's my favorite for Flanders, but I just can't see him dropping the likes of Sagan in this race.

Actually I think that after he was dropped by Sagan, Degenkolb looked bad. He was outsprinted by most of the guys in his group too. We'll see.

Paris - Roubaix last year probably wouldn't be hard enough for Cancellara to drop Stybar, if not for the f****d fan.

 

[fauniera]

Demare would be nice. A real race instead of a bunch sprint would be even better. And Demare could win that as well.

 

[Orbit501]

Not sure whether to vote 'Farrar' or 'Other' as I believe him and Bozic are perfectly suited to this race and in fine form.

I'd especially like Bozic to win as would be great to see him bag it after last years effort.

 

[Afrank]

After E3, there is only one answer to this question. Sagan to defend in equally as impressive a fashion as last year.

Would like to see Roelandts and Stybar do well also.

 

[SafeBet]

Degenkolb is due a big win.
He might get it tomorrow.

 

[manafana]

degenkolb isnt mad on this one.

bozic, kristoff and demare the names to rival Sagan for this one.

 

[Honderclass]

Going for Eddy Boss or G.

 

[The Barb]

Obviously Sagan the one to beat but I'll say Kristoff. I hadn't realised quite how dominant his MSR win was until I rewatched it today.
