One thing that nobody has mentioned but that the bookies have noticed is the home country advantage. It does not matter where you race, when racing in home, you will always have an additional spur to exceed yourself, even if in nothing more than a support role. I think this is why the bookies give Boassen Hagen such high odds. The weather in Bergen also favors those who are accustomed to rather harsh weather (Dutch, Belgian, Scandinavians, Sagan...). I have been to Bergen and Norway many times and the weather truly is unique
