Wtf Sanchez with other. You mad.

Personally i would have Samu 3rd or 4th behind Gilbert - huge favourite, and maybe Vandendert or Cunego.

I see you put Nibali, Voeckler and Mollema ahead of Sanchez.

Why?

You trolling?

I wasn't sure if Sanchez was participating.

Fair enough.

Though I think even if Samu has 50% chance of participating, he is more likely to win than Mollema Voeckler or Nibali, who even if their odds of participating are 100%, their odds of winning when participating are so much worse than Samus, the possibility that Samu wont participate isnt enough to place him behind them.

If that make sense, which i don't neccesarily hope it does.

I agree, but I didn't want to risk having a 'wasted' option.

Gilbert will win in a sprint against Cunego.

why did you have to break such a nice combo of damiano love :(

on a serious note, he looks the best we have seen him in years i honestly think he would have won AGR if not for that silly crash, he was perfectly positioned on phil's wheel and looked pretty comfortable following his pace. so if there is a year for him to win liege, this is it!!!

Yes he will. Don't think he'll be much of a factor in the race, though. He's just back from a knee injury.

That's true, is he a known rain rider?

i am not sure, but i think he deals with the rain pretty well, at least his best performance last year was on a rainy day (stage 3 of the TdS)

I'd say Gilbert. I expect something like Valverde's first win, 8 or so guys sprinting for victory, and Gilbert, although not in his best shape, still fast enough to win.

The last couple of years we had a big selection on the Roche-Aux-Faucons already. But with the Schleck's in average/bad shape, I don't know if anyone has the guts and legs to make the race hard from there.
