Who will win?
That is the question! We don’t know the answer of course, but we’ve had our shout at trying to predict the potential outcome.
For Saturday’s Pro Men’s race, the Norwegian superstars Gustav Iden and Kristian Blummenfelt feature strongly on everyone’s predictions. How will they perform after their efforts in Hawaii? Sam Long and Magnus Ditlev are, to us at least, the athletes most likely to challenge the Bergen boys for the overall title. You can read our full breakdown and top six predictions here.
