Yes. Things might change a little now that it's moved to 2021, in which he was supposed to go for the Tour de France I think, but Olympic MTB gold is his main big goal for now at least.

Yes, everything might change.

 

I make my predictions for 2020 - it is day after day as it could have happened, if the games were not postponed.

Yes that's what I meant, the latest 'news' (mostly from last year) is about him having made the choice for MTB and not the road race. Possibly the current situation changes something, but for now - to the best of our knowledge - that's still the plan.

I predicted clean sweep 1-2-3 for the Netherlands in women's road race. Do you think it is possible? What do you think about this young girl - Lorena Wiebes? I put her in 2nd place.

Don't worry. On day 5 Fede is swimming 200 freestyle ;-))))))

 

I expect 6 silver medals for Italy in first 4 days. Which one of them has the biggest chances for gold in your opinion? I have my bets here ;-)

 

day 1 - Vito Del'Aquilla - Taekwondo Men -58 kg

day 2 - Elisa Di Francisca - Fencing Women Foil Individual

day 2 - Manuel Lombardo - Judo Men -66 kg

day 2 - Gabriele Detti - Swimming Men 400m Freestyle

day 3 - Alessio Foconi - Fencing Men Foil Individual

day 3 - Diana Bacosi - Shooting Women Skeet

day 4 - none

-In cycling,men's road race, everithing it's possible. Italy have good chances, with Trentin, WC silver medallist and european champion, and Nibali, probably gold in Rio without fall down.
- In taekwondo, Vito dell'Aquila's silver is rigth, but have minimum 40% for gold.
-In mixed Archery, Nespoli/Landi are a good good team. Gold is hard, but not impossible.
- In men's individual sabre, Curatoli (n.3 WR and bronze in WC) and Samele are in good position. Maybe both are out at the first round, maybe both in medal.
- In the women's epee there are Navarria, WC 2018, and Fiamingo, two times WC and silver medal in Rio. In 2019 Worldcup, they were focused on team competition, so have a bad ranking. But in Tokyo, they are  among the favorites.

So, at the end of day1, i think italy has minimum 1 gold medal.:
Ciclyng road 15%
taekwondo 40%
Mixed archery 20%
FEncing men individual sabre 25%
fencing women epee 45%

This course is most likely too hard for Trentin, it's not just hilly, it's basically mountaineous..of course there are plenty of options left, like you said, everything is possible in men's road races

1. GERMANY                                                              wch18-1
2. UNITED STATES                                                    wch18-2
3. GREAT BRITAIN                                                    wch18-3

 

American team has become useless this year. It's much more likely that Denmark will be on the podium (either silver or bronze).

18) My prediction would be: Ledecky and Titmus will fight for gold, bronze is very open (Anderson, Pellegrini, Sjöstrom (if she swims it), Haughey, Ikee, Oleksiak, Ruck, McKeon, Schmitt, 2 chinese girls)

19) Milak ahead of Urlando and Seto (or maybe LeClos/Kenderesi)

20) Hosszu ahead of 2 out of Ohashi/Baker/Margalis/Walsh/Ye Shiwen

21) Ledecky ahead of Quadarella and Köhler or one of the chinese girls

22) USA, Japan, Russia, GB and Australia are all very close, so too close to call ...

About your swimming predictions: I would say that they look pretty good, but i think the US will win a medal in women's 400 IM and i also think Hagino and/or an american guy not named Litherland will win a medal in men's 400 IM.
