Countdown to the highly anticipated Tour of Flanders . It's a shame that Bettiol , the last Italian to win in 2019, has withdrawn, even though he would not have been among the favorites. Pay attention to the team you field in Fantacycling , of course. And also to the bookmakers' odds, which are always significant for getting your bearings.

The clear favorite is Pogacar , whose odds fluctuate between 1:60 (Betsson) and 1:70 (Betflag), with less than decimal variations such as 1:61 on Bet365 or 1:65 on Sisal. However, there are also some inviting offers to point out, such as this proposal from Gekobet   which offers the same Pogacar at a welcome rate of 5.

Behind the Slovenian , Van der Poel oscillates between 2:50 and 2:90, the eternally “placed” Van Aert oscillates between 9 and 15 (odds that are undoubtedly “tasty”) and just below the probable podium we find Mads Pedersen between 8:50 and even 20 (on Sisal), our Pippo Ganna between 41 (on Bet365) and 51 (Betflag).

Without excluding any surprises or the rematch of the Milan-Sanremo (which we still have in our eyes for the legendary three-way finale from Cipressa to the straight of Via Roma), Sunday in Belgium will be fun!
