Relatively new races with only 2 editions so far, but they prove to be one of the most exciting races on the calendar. The races are unpredictable and raced with ferocious pace. Hopefully we'll have another 2 great races this year too.

Favourites : Hesjedal, Voeckler, Rui Costa, EBH, Sagan, Gerrans, GVA, Chavanel, Vanendert, LL Sanchez, Horner, Nieve, Hoogerland, Ulissi, LP Nordhaug, Kolobnev, Albasini, Visconti + plus many other strong outsiders

I love these two races but just like the years before I won`t be able to watch them... 
Well, maybe the Sunday one. |

Should be easy for Sagan if you believe people on this forum...
I think one will go to someone who isnt a favorite and the other to Hesjedal
Great races, and i cant wait

Actually I am wondering what Ciolek can show here. Last year he showed great skills in these classics and surprised quite a few I guess.
So if he is in form these kind of classics should really suit him. |

Boasson Hagen should enjoy both of these races (if selected)  |

Hope Rui Costa can do something here. Then again, I hope he isn't in the top of his form, because he can snatch something in the Worlds and Il Lombardia (if he rides).

I only hope this races keep being as exciting as they usually are. If Sagan, Chavanel or Tommeh can win, that'd be a bonus.

I wonder in which form Sagan will show himself in Canada, as he was ill and empty the last week. But he should start building his fitness fast prior to the Worlds, so i hope he can fight for the podium at least in one of the classics.
So many great riders on the start, it should be the fun and interesting races. 
Which CET time these will start aproximately?

I think I remember the races ending at about 9:30-10 pm forum time (British time) so for me thats about 4pm, and then just add a few hours in front of that, and thats approx, when coverage starts.
Shame I'll probably miss the next two days events.

Sprint starting soon. Really looking forward for it.
Sanz, Pelletier-Roy and Ciolek all together in last years semi, today already in first round. Some big names there again. |

It's going to be an interesting little watch. Ciolek and Haussler would be my favourites.

one of the english streams on cyclingfans will do the trick - its on eurosport so usually there is a stream on there.
Easy for Haussler there.
