Opening Weekend starts tomorrow night with Omloop Nieuwsblad and then Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne on Sunday.

Strade is the following Saturday, then we get into the Monuments. Monument predictions:

Milano-San Remo: Jasper Phillipsen
Ronde van Vlaanderen: Tadej Pogacar
Paris-Roubaix: Mathieu van der Poel
Liege-Bastogne-Liege: Remco Evenepoel
Il Lombardia: Tadej Pogacar
 
Some big calls there... Nominating anyone other than MVDP & Pog for MSR is brave. I can only assume Pog isn't riding LBL, if you've named Remco to win that race?

I'll back the winners from last year to repeat
MSR: MVDP
Flanders: Pog
Roubaix: MVDP
Liege: Pog
Lombardia: Pog

Nah he is but I feel it's the one race Remco can maybe beat him.

And Phillipsen won it 2 years ago so not really that brave.

Jasper is the less brave of the two calls, though it's hard to see him getting over the last climb with Pog & MVDP if they attack it as hard as they did last year.

Given that this is the only Monument which Pog is yet to win, he will be thworing the kitchen sink at it.
 
Visma seem to be cursed this season, with WvA pulling out of the Omloop,
wonder if he did that because MVDP added it.
Nah, they'll be setting it up for Phillipsen. If anything Brennan would have been who they set up for.

He hasn't won Roubaix either mate
 
Very surprised that Pogacar is favorite for San Remo on Sportsbet
MVDP will beat him in 9/10 in a sprint. not sure what the bookies are thinking there...

Maybe thinking there's a chance he offloads MVDP on the Poggio this time around?
 
I still don't know how u can have him favorite,
not saying Pogacar is no chance.
2.75 vs 2.80 is not a huge difference. They're the 2 clear favourites, which is entirely understandable.

Having anyone else as a favourite would be an absolute long shot.
