Only problem is 7 of 8 of them won't be getting over the climbs. They don't look bad on the parcours but at high speed the field just gets put behind. Which will be the case for most of our teams, I suspect.
Cobbled Classics are pretty predictable, honestly. There really are only 10-15 guys even remotely capable of winning this IMO.
