Gilbert was (very) impressive in the Fleche Brabanconne and Amstel ...Valverde was superior in the Fleche Wallon ... can either of them take LBL as well?
Purito has claimed that LBL is his first main target of the season (and was pretty darn close last year), but how is he feeling after his tumble in the Amstel
Dan Martin had been pretty invisible this year, but his impressive 2nd place (coming from quite far in the group halfway up the Mur) in Fleche Wallon proves he's getting into form
Kwiatek won Strade Bianchi and has been close in both Amstel and FW, but seems to lack still a tiny bit the strength in the end of these races
Or can it be a surprise winner (like Martin was for many last year):
Mollema has been pretty decent in the last races
Kreuzinger didn't get the Amstel this year, but still has shown his form already
Arredondo (with less jet-lag) has been getting great results the whole year and could be an outside thread
Ulissi and Nibali need to start taking some points for Italy or they'll get into trouble to have people on the WC
And if the knee of Betancur is getting better he might have as shot as well
