I'd bet on a belgian rider, but not Gilbert. What about Nuyens, Vanendert or Monfort? |

I think Sagan or Gilbert, but i'd love a win for someone like Chavanel or Gerrans, but I don't think it would suit either as well as the likes of Sagan etc.

This hill is just perfect for Sagan. I think he'll take this home. If not, then Valverde or Gilbert can win possibly. |

Sorry to ask, but I've not followed that too closely. No more time bonus at the end and intermediates, right ? |

No gilbert? Is it to flat for him or why don't you consider him?
I am curious to see if Cav has a chance on those kind of finishes now that he lost a bit weight.
I don't think Freire will show much though. |

I think Gilbert will go on the attack, but get caught. Thus ruining his chances from a sprint. If he waits, then a Top 5 I'd say.

1. Gilbert
2. Sagan
3. Hagen
Too hard for Cav. If he makes it to the sprint he won't have his usual acceleration with those gradients. |

I think EBH will win. Just a guess. I hope Cav gets dropped.

Good to see Delaplace riding aggressively again this year.

Matt White (GreenEDGE Director) just said in an interview nearly no chance for the sprinters so I'm ruling out Cav and co.
But Paul Sherwen just said that Cancellara is a dark horse for the overall win, so I don't know what to believe.
