Doha? That will be interesting... Just goes to show money really can buy anything. I hope it gets cancelled and moved elsewhere.
Richmond could be good to be fair.
Yep - Richmond will be good - there will be a lot of support and the atmosphere will be buzzing. Course not decided yet but it will feature some sharp climbs. Doha is a joke really.
Still beggars can't be choosers, really bad cobbles aren't always the best racing as it means it comes down to luck rather than skill in some cases with punctures/crashes etc
I struggle though as he can't win a sprint and couldnt win in Richmond unless it is a proper 'classics' course. Qatar he wobt win a sprint (this is not Feb where there are few people involved or in form) and his only chance is echelons working in his favour.

I don't think he will win, but he could feature in a reduced bunch sprint tomorrow. Richmond could turn our to be a Flemish race, and Doha and chelons, who knows. He has a chance, not more

It'll be much harder for national teams to take advantage of cross wind conditions than it is for OPQS. The only protected riders out the back door will be the Moldovans, Chileans etc.

For Bergen - think more Tour of the Fjords. Will be stunning and a classics style course - think Sagan, Kristoff, Gerrans...
Doha - apparently they're building a hill - I'm presuming using the roads but adding on a purpose built section. Who knows.
Richmond - talk is this will be a tough course. It will feature this:
2016: Formolo
2017: Armstrong

Check out Libby Hill Park and 23rd Street - both should feature. Not Arenberg trench-esque, more like the smoother ones of newly paved Flanders bergs.
