Tomorrow is the big day of the year for the time-trialists. We have an interesting route in Imola that will be swept in strong winds and where tactics are going to be an absolutely vital part.

The fight for the rainbow.
Most detailed route analysis out there. Figuring the weather and what effect it may have. A huge list of favourites and a whole lot of scenarios. And an interview with the great Tom Pidcock!

Really nice that you got to speak with Pidcock. it’s 2020 and the year of the youth so anything less than Hirschi/Pogi/Pidcock on the podium will be a disappointment.
And out of curiosity, what are your predictions for The Grandissima? W52’s era ends? |

Yes he was really nice! Portugal is probably a W52 affair again, 2 stages to make gaps in climbs but TT will decide it in the end. Figueiredo strong and confident but TT will smash him, Brandão I've got no reference on how he's doing now but he should attack Serra da Estrela, GC wise everyone else will either try to survive or part of W52 where Rodrigues and Antunes can TT so I'd say it's for one of those for sure.

Tomorrow is the day the mainstage Belgian classics return to our screens, in the Ardennes before Flandres this year, as the puncheurs and the climbers will look for an opportunity to win Fleche Wallonne.

Here we go the Giro is drawing near! Let's get warmed up already by taking a look at the route, as every year (but perhaps even more this year) it's a brutal route, what are your thoughts on it?

The Giro may have started and BinkBank may have been brilliant today but tomorrow there's a chance it may get even better! It's Liège day! And there's an amazing startlist set to take on the third monument of the season.

The Giro has gotten pretty serious already on this first stage with big gaps out on the road. Tomorrow the GC guys will have to be on the lookout for splits as the puncheurs and sprinters will go for the stage win, could we see a surprise?

It may only be stage 3 but the Giro is full on! Etna day tomorrow, the GC is already full on and even more it will be tomorrow as the climbers will come to the fore!

A shocking day with so much to take in! Recovering from today we turn onto tomorrow to consolidate the current situation, and find a sprinter stage full of traps. The fast men may have their day, but splits, echelons and breakaways are all possible!

225 kilometers, 4700 meters of climbing, rain, cold and crosswinds. Today could be terrible out there, and with a 24Km mountain close to the finish it could be a very important day in the GC!

Tomorrow is another really exciting finish in Matera. One for the sprinters? The puncheurs? One that could see an elusive opportunist escape in the end? In a day marked with strong winds there will be several sub-plots to the race.

Tomorrow will be the first day for the pure sprinters where we may see new faces towards the front, however at the same time there's strong and very dangerous CROSSWINDS that everyone will have to deal with.

A good day for Fabbro to unleash beast mode and split sprinters and some GC riders for Bora. Gaviria as he is on my Velogames team and since none of my sprinters perform well in GTs... well he will be caught in a split and finish somewhere between 160th-170th. |

Fabbro? Ain't he a little skinny to go fast on the flat?

Everytime I’ve looked he’s right there at the front but yeah for climbs, flat they will probably have Bodnar or Gamper. But one never knows, it’s 2020. |

Tomorrow is one of THOSE days. Sprinters, puncheurs, GC riders and breakaway specialists all have realistic chances of winning, it will all depend on how the stage is raced. Fair to say we'll have some show!

Cobbles, classics riders, sprinters, wind, spectacle. Tomorrow is Gent-Wevelgem time and I could not be more excited looking at this incredible startlist!
