Ed, my point was I think there will be some riders up the rode without Robbie Mac this year. No denying his class, even in his off season. I would prefer him to win San Remo, but I think his ego will take the opportunity if it arises

Classic!!! Cipo with the sleeves rolled-up, ridiculous glasses ogling the sheilas!! "PIANO!! TRANQUILO!!"
+1 on San-Remo for Robbie, but with a sniff of the finish, he can't help himself......a psycho competitive streak.
If not him, I reckon my not-so-old mate Matt Wilson might get the chockies.
