120 meters of climbing on 2,5km.

 

[Fernandez]

Alexander the Great to start his season tomorrow

 

[Mr.White]

Two for the sprinters, and two for Valverde..

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Re:

Who?

 

[May0maniac]

My pick for tomorrow is Greipel.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Re: Re:

My guess is:

But it could be:

 

[LaFlorecita]

Re: Re:

Who?

My guess is:

He doesn't appear to be on the official startlist.

 

[HelloDolly]

Valverde not riding tomorrow but Dani Moreno is...Strang because tomorrow suits Valverde. Imagine he is not riding for the rest of the days. Depending on the form STybar could be an option for tomorrow. EBH also

Did you seen the profile? Tomorrow is for the sprinters

I have and I am not convinced it is only for sprinters hence why I mentioned Cancellera & EBH . Could be won by a strong ruleur with a fast finish.... But as I said depends on form and ambition

Re:

You mean one of the two russians called alexandr?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Re: Re:

Who?

My guess is:

But it could be:

Both would make sense but as far as I can tell, Valverde isn't on the startlist and Katusha isn't participating

 

[barmaher]

Those courses are quite nice actually. Almost all riders have at least one day to suit their capabilities.

I love this time of the year. Late January until Roubaix. Builds up nice and slowly at first. I use these races to familiarise myself with new riders on teams as I don't really frequent cycling websites from Hallowe'en to February.

 

[Karaev1]

Sam Bennett to get his first win in 2016. If not I got to go with Greipel...

which leaves Alex Dowsett

Re: XXV Playa de Palma Challenge Mallora 2016

Would like to see Scott Thwaites do well here

 

[MatParker117]

Around 80km to go and the break has three minutes, looking like a four way battle between Fenn, EBH, Stybar and Greipel

 

[BigMac]

Zé Gonçalves for a win here.

 

[MatParker117]

Re:

In the break and that looks doomed.

Re: Re:

Don't mean today.

 

[Ricco']

Re: Re:

It's his brother, Domingos Gonçalves, who is in the break.

 

[MatParker117]

Heading for a gallop.
