I wanted to do something different but I'm gonna go with my usual Peter Sagan :)!

Sagan was so annoyed with how things went in Milano - Sanremo and E3 Harelbeke this year; I'm sure he was motivated to the max to show everyone today.
Very impressive to then actually do it; I was sure Viviani would use him as a launch pad to grab the win in the final metres.
Shame there were so many crashes today but it was fun.
More cycling coming up the next few weeks; Dwars door Vlaanderen on Wednesday and then de Ronde van Vlaanderen next Sunday!

Picking Sagan, expecially after a few missed wins as you pointed out, is just too easy :P.
Very nice race, with the current route it's also way more interesting (Milano-Sanremo, apart from Nibali's masterpiece, was boring as hell) and it's always nice to move among historical landmarks, even if they are tragic memories as in today's case.

Gent-Wevelgem in Flanders Fields
Also running: Australian Grand Prix 2018
How it works
Predict who is going to win the race; that's all. :)
Entries close when the race starts (Sunday morning)
Race Preview
We're back in Flanders for a busy ten days (also known as Flemish Cycling Week). Friday 23: E3 Harelbeke, Sunday 25: Gent–Wevelgem, Wednesday 28: Dwars door Vlaanderen. And then on April 1 Flander's high mass: de Ronde van Vlaanderen. All are UCI World Tour races so I'm doing events for all of them this year.
Gent-Wevelgem has a flat finish but it's a hard race so often a small group finishes first.
