ohhh hello  , seeing the other startlist i had high hopes but this really gives Moscon a huge chance of a top 5 in HC here.
The big thing here is how much will Ardilla +2 and over MM be able to counter his ST i'd guess he should be able to hold better then say Gisbourne so should top 10 but he needs a good RDC to win
With that in mind huge chance for Sosa and Amezawa here MM should be the big decider so i see it between them.
Gesbert to then have the advantage over the many many 77/78 MM guys.
Fascinating race positioning on the final climb will be crucial |

Just want Montenegro to find the final group - doesn't need a fantastic result, but anything in the top 15 would be worth the trip. Otherwise, no one really useful from our guys unless Merchan somehow makes this a pure mountain test (and literally no other stats).
APP looks like a great shout to win from my view.

Cmon Lyu, give us some good points. He’s got the help of the mountain goats here, so idk maybe even Faglum Karlsson will do something, but more probably he’ll be in a helping capacity.
Thanks for the preview Laurens and looking forward to Abhi’s report

Thanks for the preview, Laurens!
The startlist looks rather favourable given who is racing in Lugano at the same time. APP should be in the mix for a top 10 and from there on anything is possible.
I won't oppose that

We've got the whole team to help Lafay. What it'll amount is another question. I just hope we won't sit at the back...
Thanks for the preview!

Good for us that most puncheurs went to Switzerland, but on the other hand there are many good climbers present. Hoping Gesbert will be in the mix for a top result!

Praying for a good Quita result so that we can hold on to the top spots in the overall.

Would like to see both Rodriguez and Azman in the top 20, but with the season Azman has had it makes sense that only Rodriguez is mentioned in the preview.
