I still have trouble believing Pidcock is on the same level as Mathieu and Wout. At least on anything but the perfect course for him. I realize you have to race to win, but if neither Mathieu or Wout toe the line I'll be rooting for Lars to have the ride of his life.I agree about Pidcock, though at times he's surprised me, like outkicking Wout at De Brabantse Pijl for the win. Of all the ways I figured Pidcock could beat WvA, beating him in a match sprint would have been the last. Though the context is that Wout hasn't yet learned the art of not chasing down every attack.
I love the Lars pick! One of the few remaining guys who was racing before the MdVP-WvA hegemony, and is still going at it. I'll go with Toon as my non-superstar pick.
