see, this is how an artefact like the World Cup devaluates the finest races on
earth. Calculation and points racing don't fit the spirit of classics

I think The Cricket takes this one. Basso for the podium.

Sounds good, but what about Horner?

Maybe top 50, if he's lucky.

He already did that in a race that didn't suit him. I think top 20 and a top
10 wouldn't surprise me. The key is whether he will make the slection for
the last 10-15 guys before the real players tear that little group apart in
the last 10k.

Does the CdM winner get to wear the jersey next year? I'd guess not.

I'm no big Horner fan, when he was with FdJ he had a podium
appearance at the Tour of Lombardy.

So the (easy) quiz question is: what for?

In 1997 FdJ won the World Cup team competition.

I will surprised if Horner does worse than a top 15.
He'll do pretty well.

Bettini to suck Rebillin's wheel too...

Dumbass -

You are correct.

Bettini and Rebellin's battle opens the race up quite a bit for
everyone else.

This seems to be a frequent occurence in Lombardia. I remember one
year (was it Bartoli?), the leader of the WC driving his 4 man break
along, doing all the work, so he could win the WC (the other WC
contenders were not in the break). Naturally, he had no chance in the
sprint and obviously he would not have ridden in that fashion if there
were no WC.

Just an anecdote to support Bart's point.

K. Gringioni.
