Some serious and not so serious speculation

How have the first San Remo women have won for 20 years?

Who knows the hell.

The Cipressa Poggio-Via-Roma final remains a mystery to the men’s peloton even after 116 editions.

It will be even more puzzling on Saturday lunch when Lotte Kopecky, Demi relaxes the Italian Riviera along the Italian Riviera for the first time in the newly launched woman.

Will the 160 km course be long enough to bring the slow tension and wild uncertainty that characterizes the men’s breed?

Or will the women in San Remo be a thrill trip with full gas, does it start?

Or could “La Primavera Donne“Cover the two?

We will find out Saturday.

In the meantime you will find some serious and not so serious scenarios that I would see at the first San Remo women:

Vos bosses the bunch of sprint

It just felt Right When Marianne Vos wore the yellow jersey for five days on the first Tour de France Femmes. It would also feel appropriate if “The Boss”, “The Goat”, the one and only VOS wins on Saturday on Saturday.

As one of the most famous, prestigious drivers of the world cycling, not even the locals Tifosi would grumble too hard if the Dutch woman would pinch that Prosecco From an Italian.

And it is anything but from the question that VOS will win the via -Roma.

The 37-year-old should be able to hang on the Poggio with a larger group, and she definitely has the speed to sweat them on a bunch of sprint.

VOS does not become younger and her competitors in the classic style lotty Kopecky, Anna van der Breblgen, Elisa Longo Borghini et al – I have time on your sides.

Leave Vos Boss San Remo before it’s too late.

A Kopecky against wooling punch-up on the Poggio

Will the Poggio play “Queenmaker” at San Remo Women?

In all likelihood, yes.

The 3.7 km long hill started many dozens of men to the monument victory in Milan-San Remo and is intended for women as a central Saturday.

And if so, who does not want to see a big fight between world champion Lotte Kopecky and her former SD Worx-Pro-Pro-Pro-Pro-Pro-Predote teammate Demi-Wolling?

Regardless of whether your rivalry is everything for media hype or not, it would be a Barnstormer.

Kopecky has not driven all the season, and so on Saturday San Remo will be the first time that the world has a collision between these two top tours of the women’s tour.

And an ascent that will not tend to the chances too far in favor of one or the other as short and flat as the 3.7 percent poggio.

Wolling and Kopecky on the Poggio would be a cassemade duel that sells the popcorn.

Another “omloop gate”? Wildcard victories from the early break

Do you remember Lotte Claes and your journey from darkness to celebrity at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad?

San Remo Women screams after a second chapter of “Omloop-Gate”.

The race on Saturday will be the first edition of a classic, which, unlike any other, is already on the calendar.

In contrast to the 20-year-old women’s omloop or all the other long-standing classics, there is no story that can be followed by the follown and no script (or flounder, as was the case with “Opening Weekend”).

Throw a little tug between the sprinters and the climbers, some peloton beef that pulls the break back, and the Via-Roma is wide open for a Breakaway survivor.

Claes will not be in Genoa on Saturday. So let’s hope that the shock victory emerges from a wildcard team that comes from the deepest lower abdomen in the province of province.

Team Aromitalia 3t Vaiano, Team Mendelspeck E-Work, I look at them.

Longo Borghini blows the sprinter with a Roma attack

Winning in San Remo is not just about stringing away through the Poggio or stamping everyone in the Bunch Sprint.

A later shot in Via -Roma is a proven way to win the men’s race, and it could definitely be at San Remo this weekend.

There is an enormous potential that the “opening” San Remo women will send a final cracker over the 750 m over the 750 m over Roma.

Poggio may not be the launchpad, as it is in the men’s race or who knows, perhaps Demi -Wolling and the climbers cannot make things difficult enough to drop the sprinters on the winding hill.

Elisa Longo Borghini wrote about Roma -Raid everywhere. The aggressive Italian has made it a trademark to ignite the Peloton with an all-about-nor attack.

And you can bet that the tricolore tour has thought about it.

She won the Giro d’Italia Women, Giro Dell’emilia, Trofeo Alfred Binda and Strade Bianche Donne, so she could complete her Italian box with San Remo.

And one that I don’t want to see – weather problems dampen the party

The misery, which filled snow, snow and rain on Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adritico last week, are better not to start the Italian Riviera.

The disasters of Paris-Nice bylasses, neutralizations and frostbissen-finger remembers in the fact that European spring is not so bright.

And nobody wants to see a repeat of the MSR of the men in 2013 in the Big Hype Birth of Women in San Remo.

12 years ago, a snow removal and finally a bus transfer and a protest from drivers steel the headlines of the shock winner Gerald Ciolek.

Forecasts require mild temperatures, but rain from rain on Saturday. There will be no snow, and the organizers RCS are not worried about what will come.

But you get the idea.

Wild weather and Parcours Polemica are not what we want after waiting for the return of women in San Remo for 20 years.
