I too got vibes of this is a Pogi rehearsal. Climbs are n't long enough to leave it to the last lap so up the tempo and light blue touch paper on penultimate lap.This is an easy call. Pogi will do exactly what Jan Christen did but will be able to finish it off.
Looking at what happened this year, that would be highly likely. Barring crashes, I can not see Pog loose this race.This is an easy call. Pogi will do exactly what Jan Christen did but will be able to finish it off.
This guy wins a two up sprint with anybody on this course. Except Roglic.Oh lawd he comin

Well, Pogacar destroyed Van der Poel last time they met in Flanders, and this year's edition of Amstel showed that such a course might be just a little too hard for Van der Poel - or at least it's not where he is at his best - so even if the parcours is reminiscent of Flanders and Amstel, I don't see how Van der Poel is the favorite.I think VDP is the big favorite. I never understood why people were saying this course had too much climbing for him, the climbs are short and steep just like Flanders and Amstel Gold. it's nothing like LBL or Lombardia and we've seen it play out that way in the races the last two days. the wildcard is Pogacar going long and the Dutch not having enough firepower to bring him back but they should get some help from Belgium.
So will Teddy have his Kopecky today? Is MVP ready for that role?
tbh, kopecky won thanks to the generous gift of longo borghini and vollering. they were far stronger, they had taken her off the wheel on the climbs but cause of the lack of collaboration of a couple of far less non-dangerous athletes ,they preferred to stop pulling with 15-20kms to go. shame on them, so kopecky rightly punished them.So will Teddy have his Kopecky today? Is MVP ready for that role?

This just ignores the dominance Pogacar and to a lesser extent Evenepoel have in one day races, even the not extremely hard ones.
If I speak!!!Big change in wind direction compared to yesterday. Block headwind on Witikon.
