On Tap...

La Primavera
The European peloton's next stop is La Classiclisma, Milano-San Remo. As is the case with the Belgian classics, the men who hail from the home country are usually favored. Of the Squadra Azzura, none should be more favored than David Rebellin (Gerolsteiner), who captured the Paris-Nice title last weekend.

If you are looking for someone else other than an Italian, the smart money seems to swaying toward former World Champion Oscar Freire (Rabobank). In the end, the winner of San Remo is often as unpredictable as its finale, which always comes down to a very late break or a bunch sprint.
