San Remo - Spoiler ALERT

[iLB]

I think if things go well for Cavendish recovering after Tirreno, and his ETIXX team can hold everything together for him then he is in with a great shout this year. Contract year and all...

On the other hand the likes of Trek Factory and Saxo Tinkoff will be looking to derail team Cavendish, and would ideally like Degonkolb and Michael Matthews out of the picture by the time they hit the Via Roma... giving us a sprint with in form Fabian, Sagan, Kristoff. I would love to see EBH and Swift in the mix as well, although the former may be riding for Ciolek.

Who do you fancy FTW?

do we know the weather forecast?

 

[iLB]

BBC are saying a wet start in San Remo, but dry by the afternoon. Likely to be changed by Sunday though.

Degenkolb or Kristoff. But I'd like it to be Cav.

Is this the Pro Pundit thread for those too chicken to "put up" in the Pro Pundit thread?

 

[Keith Oates]

No, it's a thread for those who want to contribute to a thread dedicated to the 2015 Milan - San Remo race. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sagan em no Kristoff em no spartacus em no Cav em no Degenkolb em no GVA em no Sagan em no Gilbert. Etc etc etc.

There are a lot of riders and styles in the mix this weekend. If the weather is bad then I pick Kristoff.

Cav has dreamt of winning on the Via Roma and he wants it bad !

 

[Adam4868]

Cav its a done deal !

 

[iLB]

Yegads I have to work so won't see it live.

 

[smutchin]

Cav its a done deal !

I wish that were true. He will be in with a good chance though - just as long as still he's there at the finish...

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Rainy morning in Milan, looks like the majority have dressed appropriately but I'm sure there will be a few shorts/SS jerseys in there as well - the "ass savers" seem to be out in force tho.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

And we have a break after 11km - Molana, Barta, Person, Tjallingii, Frapporti, Pirazzi, Kurek, Bono, Pauwels, Berard and Dall'Antonia have 1'50" over the peloton. Still no shorts/SS Jersey combos spotted...
