Milan San Remo 2017 - Spoilers

How is Tommeke down as team leader? There are at least three other riders in his team more likely to win. And that excludes Stybar who is not even riding. I was going to suggest that he might be good for an attack.
The other thing about MSR is that there are so many riders that could win. Even a rider like Sacha Modolo who is 100+ with the bookies has a chance.0 -

He's good value.
If you could put money on who'd attack on the Cipressa, i'd give you short odds for Stannard. He went along with a decent Movistar rider last year who's name escapes me.
Amador, Visconti or Lobato?
Probably not Betancur.0 -

Yussss
His partner in crime was Visconti0 -
Good Boonen piece on Cyclingnews about going all in for Gav.
Quickstep have such a strong team/options. Can't see past Gaviria.BikeRadar Communities Manager0 -
Reviewing last year's race, they didn't really go too fast up the Poggio, hence the reason so many were still in contention on the Via Roma0

He likes to do it, and race it hard, because he feels it gives him a really big step up in form going into the Vlaamse Wielerweek.
I don't think has expected to win since being pipped by Friere in 2010.0 -
Page 2 and nobody has mentioned Sagan?
I think he slugs it out with GVA.
Demare hoping his engine is as good as last year. Arf arf.It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.0 -

Short climb and a fast finish says Sagan to me really. Should be a reliable high placing in PTP anyway...0

Wonder how Sagan can shut down Quickstep's attacks with his team. QS has so many options to attack before the final sprint to set up Gaviria (Phil Gil, Alaphilippe, Terpstra possibly etc.). Boonen will probably stick by Gaviria and lead him out or attack after the Podgy O, to set up Gaviria that way.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230

Like Sagz ever has a team to fall back on0 -
/\ he rides with the strength of 9 men.
Sagan is so good he does turns on the front with himself.0 -

Three or four years ago you knew that Sagan would be there or thereabouts in the big one day races but that his lack of a decent team would probably tell in the end.
But 2016 was a watershed moment for him because in races like Flanders and GW he was just too strong for everyone else. He seems to have carried that kind of form into this season so I wouldn't be surprised if this is his year for MSR.0 -
Anyone want to kick off the "he's no good over 300km" list?0
-
Just as well it's only 291km!!

per Wikiwahwah: An each-way bet is a wager offered by bookmakers consisting of two separate bets: a win bet and a place bet. For the win part of the bet to give a return, the selection must win, or finish first, in the event. For the place part of the bet to give a return, the selection must either win or finish in one of the predetermined places for the event, such as first place or second place. The odds paid on the place part of the bet are usually a fraction (commonly 1⁄2, 1⁄3, 1⁄4 or 1⁄5) of the win odds
so I think if he wins I get odds of 40/1. if he places top 2nd, 3rd or 4th I get odds of 10/1
but I am Bet365's best customer - clueless, and heavily loss-making0 -

What about Cavendish at 19/1? I'd rather do that than Bouhanni tbh.

Sky bet giving me 10/1 on Sagan to win this and Ronde.
Also stuck £10 on MSR, Ronde and Green Jersey for 26/10 -
You can get long odds on Gerrans and Bennati. Maybe they are both too old now. Modolo is still tempting me.0
