    I find it hard to believe Pogacar will just keep his win rate going and win pretty much everything he races while racing the entire year & expect him to have to taper off eventually, but the field isn't exactly stacked, so:

    Pogacar please

  • Any race that Pog is in you have to expect him to be there or thereabouts, which makes PTP pretty boring

    So my pick is.........

    Pog please

    My hunch that Pogacar was just using this as a leg loosener ahead of Liege turned out to be wildly wrong.
