Sanremo to Vincenzo Nibali thanks to an extraordinary solo on the Poggio, the Tour of Flanders to the Dutch Niki Terpstra with a stretch of his own in the last 20km which makes it become often uncatchable: the first two classic-monuments of the season so got out of hand to the super favorite that was Peter History. But the bookmakers are not giving up and they continue to bet always on the Slovakian world champion who thus presents himself with the favors of the predictions also to Paris-Roubaux of this second Sunday in April, the ride to the North of France on the legendary pavé, one of the key appointments of the world cycling calendar, a goal that is worth a career and which is still missing History who has amassed victories everywhere, but what in classic-monument is stopped at only one success, that in the Tour of Flanders in 2016. History, which won this year on the roads of the Northo for the second time there Ghent-Wevelgem, is given in the eve bets at 4.
The second in the list of favorites - quoted 7,50 - è Terspstra, former winner at velodrome of Roubaix in the 2014. Greg Van Avermaet big winner in the latest edition is given a 9 on a par with Philippe Gilbert and Zdenek Stybar. French follow at 16 Arnaud Désea (first in Sanremo 2016), the Dutch Oliver nose and the Belgian Wout FROM Aert, formidable cyclo-cross rider, three times world champion of the specialty who should find his ideal terrain on cobblestones. Jonh sword butt, victorious in Roubaix in 2015, closes at 25 with Alexandre Kristoff and our John Moscon the list of responsibilities favorites. But if the pitfalls of the Arenberg Forest and the grimmest stretches of loose stones have most of the time exalted and rewarded the qualities of those who have the Dna of the sample, there were sometimes some surprises. The last one, just recently, with the victory of the Australian two years ago Mathew Hayman, which in the sprint he denied a great man like Tom Boonen, record holder with Roger de Vlaminck with 4 successes, to enter the legend of Roubaix with a very poker of victories.
