Who will win Tirreno Adriatico?

[gustienordic]

Quintana to make a decisive attack to win it. Kiwi to be top 5, but have trouble following Quintana and losing a chunk of time. Contador to podium, Horner, to be off pace and show his age

How do you reckon that? In the two TT's in last year's Tour Kwiatek did better than Contador in the first, but worse in the second.

Now considering that Alberto is in great form, certainly the best in years at this point in the season, it is quite possible that the Spaniard is the faster.

Perhaps it's just me, and it may be that after his suspension he will never again be so dominant, but I think some people just don't realize AC's class.

Tirreno TT is flat, you can not compare it to the second Tour TT.

A lot of useres underestimate Kwiato.

He is super strong now. We don't have a proper mountain stage here. And i do not see how, he will lose this race on those stages + the TT. Without some bad luck Kwiato will win it.

“I don’t ever get invited to the press conferences, so it’s nothing new,” Horner told VeloNews. “Maybe it’s because I’ve only won one grand tour. I guess you have to win five. I was just as surprised as you, but that’s happened my whole career, so it is what it is.”

papy and ivan to destroy everyone on lanciano!

Ha! Ivan no, but Horner let's wait and see.

PS. What gets me is that this sport has been piloted for decades now.

Looking at todays result, maybe Basso wasnt kidding when he said there was something special in the air this year.

I might be starting to like Christopher. And truly wouldn't mind him winning.

don't you think it would fun to watch these two oldies duke it out? I hope basso is flying just so honer got a sparing partner. Imagine if this two oldies, can outshine the youngster.. whew.. this forum will explode.

 

[greenedge]

Lol, what about Evans

 

[Jspear]

Basso won't do squat. If Quintana, Contador, Porte, and company ride aggressively he'll get dropped, even though the mountains aren't so "tough" here. He'll do terrible in the tt as well.

The fact that he did not get invited to the press conference and that nobody wanted to hire him when he recently won a Grand Tour should tell him something. Somebody please send him the "memo".

Been like that for years with Horner - always underestimated. He wasn't even invited to the ToC press conference the year he won.
