Who Will Win Tirreno Adriatico?

[Jelantik]

Whoever wins.. I'm already giddy imagining the battles of soon to be titans in TDF. I'm sure contador wants to win it this time or at least finish ahead of Froome. Angry Contador means MORE ATTACKS . I remember reading an article somewhere before Oman, that Froome wants to stick it to Contador, by winning first. Sorry, I can't find the link.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Depending on who they send, Astana might be not that far behind.

My guess is that Astana will send thier Italian armada to TA, while guys like Grivko, Brajko and Birdsong will do PN.

That doesn't bode too well for the TTT though.

nope, but I am not sure about Brajko (even though he probably will be captain in alot of smaller races since he has to slave for Nibali this May)

 

[SafeBet]

Do you know anything about Kessia? What's his program?

He is doing Giro, but not sure about what he is doing beofre that (probbly ardennes, but doubt he would want to work for Nibali before he have to)

Provisional start list.
Very impressed with Argos Shimano's team thus far.

Nice, he'll be ready for TA then

Yeah, I think so, too.

What´s surprising is the long break between Tirreno and Romandie, I´m quite sure he´ll do something in between, either Catalunya or Pais Vasco.

When he knows he´ll do the Giro for sure, maybe this would not be necessary, and he´d be in altitude between Tirreno and Romandie, for a few weeks.

Froome or Rodriguez for me (rooting for Alberto) Alberto will invest in losing the early season just to measure the level of strength/weakness of his main rivals sort of like Ali in Zaire vrs Foreman then just go to the Tour and rope a dope the hell out of everyone and kick it in the 8th round.

 

[phanatic]

I think Horner is the dark horse here. He should be a bit stronger than last year.

Lol that would be funny.

Alberto is not the favorite for this race according to CN poll that's rare

He'll win the team time trial, if that's what you mean

It is a difficult time for someone suffering from allergies.

Why, is he getting younger now? Or am I missing a joke here?

Horner will fly straight in from a Big Mac meal and crush Froome, Contador et al.

Don't think so, this year there are more stronger riders like Froome, Evans, Contador.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Will be awaiting Dan Martins performance, Garmin should do well in TTT, he says he kinda targets it.... So would be interesting to see where he stands compared to the more obvious choices of the poll

Good news, almost always aggressive. Looking forward to seeing him.

Agree! He needs to be on the list.

 

[TeoSheva]

Santambrogio has a poor team in the TTT otherwise I will definitely consider him

Mollema targets it as well. He's maybe the slightly better version of Dan Martin.

Horner indeed needs to be on the list, he's no worse than Nibali, certainly if he doesn't have the knee problem or whatever he had last year so he could only climb standing up.
