World Cup 2021, analysis of the national teams at the start (2nd part)

Who will be the favorites and the protagonists of the world championship race in Belgium

Our journey among the national teams continues for next Sunday's Road World Championships.

COLOMBIA - We don't expect much from the South American team, which field sprinters such as Juan Sebastian Molano, Alvaro Hodeg and Fernando Gaviria as well as men from stage races such as Esteban Chaves and Rigoberto Uran . Watch out for Sergio Higuita in case of a short-run sprint. Andres Nelson Soto and Josè Tito Fernandez have the task of being wingmen.

Rating: 6

  SLOVENIA - Two phenomena ( Primoz Roglic and Tadej Pogacar ) and a great runner ( Matej Mohoric ). The ingredients to do well are all there, but there are doubts about the conditions of the first two, with the first not running from the Vuelta and the second distant relative of the Tour's steamroller. Be careful, however, to let the third, capable of companies from afar. To support there will be Ian Tratnik, Ian Polanc, David Per and Domen Novak. Hypothesis flown entrusted to Luka Mezgec.

Rating: 7.5

GERMANY - Maximilian Schachmann has just returned from a bad Vuelta where he crashed and does not seem at the level of the other favorites. John Degenkolb , who is exalted in the northern countryside, should be checked. For the escapes it is impossible not to mention Nils Politt, Niklas Arndt and Georg Zimmermann. Jonas Koch closes.
