Wondering if we'll be seeing something like in the Olympics at MSR. Usually everyone has been waiting for the Poggio, but at the Olympics, it was all about preventing a sprint finish. Maybe we will see something similar, with lots of teams trying to tear up the race? Could be interesting. Of course the teams are bigger at MSR, but the distance and weather could take its toll.

Yeah I think Cav has even ruled himself out this time too, even with the route changes. I'm backing Sagan this year to pick an obvious favourite

I'll say Degenkolb, Amador or Kreuziger, but Cancellara & Sagan do look in good shape.
Weather forecast for MSR is improving dramatically.
Some interesting choices .. I thought Stannard at 80/1 with bad weather seemed value.
Finally I backed Degenkolb with Stybar and Kristoff as outsiders. I'd actually made a lay bet against Cav, which with Boonen out and the weather improving I'm starting to regret! That said I'm still a huge fan so I'll still be happy either way.

Er ultyguy, do you know where Cavendish comes from? He grew up on an island in the middle of the Irish Sea with few trees because of the wind, heavy roads, zero flat and the sort of weather where you don't leave home without a rain jacket. Normally when he says he's not going well, can't win he's just working on the opposition and has it all planned out.

Who can beat Sagan in a sprint after 298 km if he makes no mistake like last year ?
Nobody I think if the race has been hard enough.
