Landa will be on the podium in both the Giro and Vuelta!0

Landa will revert to type and score a stage win in each of the Giro and Vuelta.
Mark Cavendish will win more races than Marcel kittel
Andre Greipel will again be near the front for long periods at Flanders. He'll also win 2 tour stages.
Valverde will win one Ardennes classic.0 -

One of the Yates boys to win LBL or a Tour stage..........0

Landa and Kwiatkowski will succumb to a combination of Kerrison's reign of terror and Dave's anti-sport motivational seminars. The Yates boys will win more.

Well this might be true, but for the wrong reasons.0 -
I think he'll take this as a blessing in disguise and go on to take yellow in the tour0

Well given that I got the most predictions right last year (no need to check that just assume it's true), there is a lot of pressure on my predictions this year. After careful consideration I'm going for:
1. Sagan will not suffer from the curse of the rainbow jersey and will be at the top of the rankings by the end of the year
2. Contador will win the Tour in his final season
3. RVV/PR/E3 will be won by different riders
4. Alaphillipe will win LBL or FW
5. No one will care about the Vuelta again
6. Greipel to be world champion0 -

I hate to say it, but I don't think Boonen will do anything in the Classics.
Just looking at his performance in Paris Nice yesterday versus Cancellara in Strade Bianche on Saturday.
I very seriously hope I'm wrong though0 -
I'd love to see Cancellara do the double in his final season. He's going to be seriously hard to beat in Flanders.
Just got a feeling that the winner of Roubaix won't be one of the top tier favourites this year. Someone like a Debusschere or Benoot.0 -

Kristof won't.
Dumolin won't threaten a top 5 in any GT.
2 outa 3 so far.0 -

True.
But then my official predictions are going pretty well. Sagan will be top of the rankings by the end of the year and E3/RVV/PR will be won by different riders.0 -

A relative unknown will also grab one of the first four monuments.
Degenkolb will be banging his handlebars and only win smaller races.
Cancellera will be there or thereabouts, but will be "unlucky" and come up short. Some podiums.
Can't see Vanmarke winning LBL! Otherwise, predictions are going well.0
