Thor Hushovds prediction of San Remo:

"I've seen that Tom Boonen looks good. Then you have Team Sky with Cavendish and Edvald Boasson Hagen. There I think Edvald has the best opportunity. Heinrich Haussler has had a good season opening with Garmin, and lets not forget Peter Sagan."

So according to mr. Hushovd you should select:
Boonen
Boasson Hagen
Haussler
Sagan
Hushovd (He also said "he expects BMC to ride for him")

PS. I heard Team Type 1 will let Vegard Stake Laengen have a go in the Primavera in his first professional season. Deffo gonna be in my team - went to secondary school with him XD

I've got my first draft team ready but to be honest it's a bit wooly! Currently half sprinters and half puncheurs. I might just toss a coin and go all sprinters or all puncheurs!  39

I'm guessing the Milan-Sanremo site proper will be updated tomorrow eve/Wed am once Tirreno finishes. Seems to be the way RCS does these things.

Its funny how you all pick your teams in advance.
I always pick mine the night before, half on research, half on what you guys have said, and a further half just winging it.

Hasn't worked yet, looking to repeat my sensational form of the classics last year.  4

I think I have solved your problem and why its not working  3

Because your splitting it into three halves, its always going to cause problems, then your also listening to people on the forum, I thought you would have learnt from last year  19

I've got a team picked at the moment, but is subject to change at the shortest of notice as I have picked it not knowing who is riding where or at all

You'll all be pleased to know, there is no current or former ROAD world champion in my team, thats as much as i'm saying at this early stage

But i did notice something while looking through riders

You have a typeo in one name Valentin Iglinsky - spelt in the game as Valentin Iglinksiy

Bonnet?

You're 4 points above me, be interesting to see your team tomorrow. Might still change if I wake up early enough as like most of us I'm unsure about Cav and might go Canc instead.

No longer have the frenchman as he is not racing. It was Offredo, had been in top 20 the past two years.

I defo doubt many will have my italian star rider

In fact i will say my team is a mess! well my DS's anyway

We will not mention why he is not racing for the rest of the year shall we.

Could replace him with Steve Chainel who buried himself for Offredo last year, after being in the select group over the Cipressa last year.

Except he probably have to do the same for Geslin this year, who is also a french DS on FDJ (note check 2010 results)
