Top-20 as a goal, pretty sure this will be a waste of a race for Oz.
Must have been high when selecting this race

I'd settle for a top 15 here, the startlist is insane. We only really miss Kritskiy, Abal and Nazaret. |

No surprise to see such a startlist. Think Alarcon will work his magic here.

Not sure what kind of expectations to have, but should be an incredible race, so even if I don't do too well I will enjoy it.

It's an epic looking race, and it's a massive start list.
Must say I actually fancy Alarcon, at least for some good racing on the first two stages. Though, I might be biased after last season 
Hopefully the mountains prove selective, definitely looking forward to the reports

The only race where I had to turn down a PCT team, if I recall correctly. The mountain stages will be hit and miss whether they are epic or dull, but the ITT can at least be guaranteed to create gaps.

One of two races Marquez will go against the best. Should be great fun. Top 10 would do. No pressure to perform due to our current position.

I hope for a top 5 atleast, feel that I'm sending a great team for this, but with Dekker, Taaramae and Alarcon here I doubt I will get a lot of points. Anyway, couldn't resist racing this race, so I'm just looking forward to the reports

This should be an awesome race. Gotta be one of the coolest profiles on the schedule, mixed with that startlist!

As everyone else has said, this is an insane startlist and I'm looking forward to it. I'm going to tip Taaramae to take it in the MTT. I doubt the mountains will be super selective.

THIS IS BRUTAL! 
Best continental startlist of the season, fingers crossed for Popovych to bounce back from a bit unlucky race in France. Still Dekker and Taramae are the biggest favourites, together with Alarcon. So i expect Popo to fight with likes of Pozzo and Keijzer for last spots in top5. Thanks god Kritskiy is at home, he would win this.
So top5 is the goal, but top10 is the must. Biggest wish is for some nice racing, like first stage in Trentino, not like the rest of mountain stages there though...
Nice preview!

Preparing to get massacred again, Vancouver-style. I can't believe how stupid I must've been when planning the season. Caruso has nothing to do in a race like this.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to watching an epic battle in the mountains. I doubt stage 2 will open particularly big gaps, so it's down to stage 1 and in particular 3 to decide the race. With Kritskiy gone, I can only see this going to Taaramae.
