Who will win Milan San Remo?

[Eshnar]

I do think he could really try on Le Manie, jokes aside...
He has no other chances to drop Sagan or Canc. he certainly don't give a f*ck to a podium, so if he wants to win this is his only option. Attack, pick a dozen other riders along the road (Santambrogio would be an excellent pick, for example) and just go all out.
If I were his DS (or if I were Vino ) this is what I'd tell him anyway.

The favourites: Sagan, Cancellara
My favourites: Hushovd (unrealistic I think), Boonen (not quite there yet it seems)

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Hushovd will humiliate the mere mortals.

Sky is the favorite team to win, but they don't have the favorite rider.

Rain is a blessing methinks.

 

[Rossco8]

Pippo to celebrate the win.

So, Pozzato for 2nd place?

 

[The Hitch]

Scarponi wasnt that bad in PN. Please god let him do what he did in 2011 only this time starting from the peloton and not the 2nd group on the road 2 minutes back

you are not the only one voted Goss, Simon will have a shot too

 

[Panda Claws]

This has got to be the most unanimous poll regarding to who will a monument on here yet.

 

[mewmewmew13]

Time for Fabs to bring it home....
Sagan will be busy.

 

[Carols]

Brain and vote to Sagan
Heart with Nibs

 

[orangerider]

Going with Thor. In theory he should annihilate the field in this kind of rainy cold weather.

 

[manafana]

|Sagan is a coin toss to win this do not see pure sprinters making it.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Obvious Sagan is obvious.

 

[gruppeto993]

I wonder if sagan will keep an eye on thor or would he just mark cancellara

race will tell, after 250K Sagan pretty much will have an idea who are going very well, so are other riders

 

[Descender]

Sagan should win, but I have money on Ciolek.

 

[Torrrr]

Sagan, if I'm being serious, but I voted other cos I want Boonen to win.

 

[Miburo]

How much did you lose?

 

[Marco Pantani]

Sagan needs a lot of help, in the final kms.
To be honest, I can't see him winning this, with Nibali, Cancellara, Pozzato and others likely to attack him one after another.
I also doubt, Moser will be strong enough for both, Cipressa and Poggio.

 

[Descender]

Did? Don't tell me he's not starting...

I have two euros on him anyway. Would net me 130 if he wins, seemed worth a shot...

Dont you think the likes of cancellara, pozzato, hushovd and gilbert will cooperate to drop sagan then once he's dropped, the remaining will work against cancellara?

I can hardly see a whole group of top guns going clear from Sagan. If this happens and there will be a select group of maybe Cancellara, Pozzato, Gilbert, Hushovd, the normal outcome of a sprint would be much more open, than we had it with Gerrans and Nibali last year. The others would commit as well. All in all, I do think, Cancellara is in a better position than last year, with this top quality peloton.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Ever increasing likelihood of the neutralisation of Turchino: less draining therefore greater chance for sprinters to survive La Manie and the Capi?

 

[Ferminal]

Not so sure, I think it will make other teams go completely ballistic on Le Manie.
