294 Brutal kilometers await the riders between Milano and SanRemo, icluding the Passo di Turchino, the famous Capi and a big climb nobody has ever head about before; Pompeiana.
Reading the Gazetta dello Sport, who always give starts to riders for races, I found out they favour Bennati, Steegmans and Pozzato for the win. Ballan, Hushovd, Cooke, Cancellara and Davis all got a solid mention as well though, and especially looking at the final climb, this is a very open race.

Will you be racing the race now?
Can't wait really... Strong field, but I think the lack of quality puncheurs could be interesting... Riders like Di Luca, Pellizotti, Sanchez, Bakelants, Ballan and Hagen could really crunch the pack going up that final hill, but with strong sprinterteams it could also go the other way...
The only problem for the sprinters is that the strongest teams are also the ones who have these riders... Who can catch a group like that, if they go away?

Yeah, I agree attackers have the best chance since the puncheurs will tire everybody out on the hill.
I think though, since the race is rated flat, riders like di Luca and Sanchez will be chasing for their sprinters...
edit: btw dont expect the to be posted before tomorrow morning

It's a possibility indeed, but I hope they won't...
Atleast top 5 no matter if it ends in a sprint or attack... |

With no sprinters to work for, hopefully General Franco will attack off and win to defend his MSR crown

Uh - had we been using the 2009 profile of the race, Vantomme would've had a chance. But with that nasty hill in the middle of the race, this is perfectly designed for a strong puncheur. |

I hope you are right, however I doubt that the hill after 120km or so will have any effect... It's 15-20km long, but it's not all too steep I think, and the pack will probably go relatively slow at that point of the race since a group of attackers is away... |

Try to send the excel file to someone?

Mrlol logged off MSN just as I was about to tell him that I had managed to open the file. So no, I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow. |

Well, I probably should have kept my mouth shout and let the race have been re-run, considering my team's showing in this race |

Hehe well the only right thing to do is what you did, and no matter if you could've gotten a better result, the goodwill you recieve for playing sportive is atleast as good, it may not affect your team this season, but perhaps it is wellgiven in thought of next seasons transfer period |

Eventhough it's flat -rated and Hagen isn't exactly among the cyanide favourites (I know that's not saying much), I have a feeling he will do something here. I want a good result already!
