Saturday 19th March sees the first Monument of the season, this year stretching to 291km. Will it be a sprint or will there be fireworks before then?

Will a fired-up post-TA stage-cancellation Nibali be out for the win? The sprinters might be fighting for scraps if he and a few others decide to make a fight of it. Cancellara for instance might fancy mixing it up with him.
I think Cancellara is out to win everything he can this year to cement his legacy. I am pretty certain he'll try to launch a characteristic attack near the end.
60! (I was thinking the other day that watching Greg Lemond win the 1989 TdF was what got me interested in cycling again. That also made me feel 60! )More useless facts. The 2016 edition will be 23 years since the doping git Davide Rebellin made his debut in the race, when it was won by Maurizio Fondriest. How old does that make you feel?!

He was 2nd or third a few years ago and the length does tend to even things out. I think he'll place well even if he doesn't win it.I don't know who's going to win, but I think Ben Swift may as well save himself the bus fare...

As long as he's not full of gas, because that can be unpleasant in a peloton.The SKY PR people* say he's "full gas for it"
