Yes, but I think it is possible if they can sort out his fuelling problem, and no one else will pick him so I can be smug if he winsgruppeto993 said:PR - Boasson Hagen?
Wishful thinking. A bit unrealistic.
Doesn't need to be when the rest of the field finish 5 minutes back.LaFlorecita said:Froome isn't explosive at all is he?
There's still enough time for him to be good at the Ronde. This year I'm hoping that Chavanel will finally get the major classic win that he deserves.the asian said:He rode in Algarve. Wasn't too good in the ITT though.
I considered him.Oliver said:Nobody's mentioning Valverde?
I think he'll be very strong.
Yes it's still early days in the season. The new Ronde course suits him well. If Boonen struggles he'll be OPQS's best bet.42x16ss said:There's still enough time for him to be good at the Ronde. This year I'm hoping that Chavanel will finally get the major classic win that he deserves.
Terpstra was better than Chavanel last spring. And in Qatar he seemed to be one of the strongest riders.the asian said:Yes it's still early days in the season. The new Ronde course suits him well. If Boonen struggles he'll be OPQS's best bet.
Pozzato seems to be in impressive form though.
Flecha form will be there not winning again.karaev said:anybody knows something about Flecha form?
Also who do you think will be Sky strongest man in Omlop and Kurne? They have so many strong riders who also showed good form already. I would like Eisel to win at least one classic.

It's when he types on his phone that he often hits full stop instead of spaceWinterfold said:Henao to podium LBL
Edit: Gloin went further, and Hitch went for Wiggo
Crazy prediction: LBL podium; Wiggo, Henao, JTL
Ps will whoever superglued Hitch's full stop key please unstick it. Thanks.
Is there even any discussion? Both in the races and in the results Terpstra was better.Panda Claws said:Lol no. about the last spring part
Chava had a flat tire in Roubaix and in Flanders he used up too much energy before the final. Re-watch the race if you want.theyoungest said:Is there even any discussion? Both in the races and in the results Terpstra was better.
Lol, both Terpstra and Chava did a lot of work for Boonen during the race, tbh Chavanel is overrated on cobbles. He's never been that good in P-R, even without the flat tires. Still for Niki it was the best form of his career, Chavanel is way more reliable. He's also a much better climber.El Pistolero said:Chava had a flat tire in Roubaix and in Flanders he used up too much energy before the final. Re-watch the race if you want.

I haven't heard anything about how Flecha is riding so far. The good news for Flecha fans is that I'm pretty sure Vacansoleil will give him full support at RVV and PR.karaev said:anybody knows something about Flecha form
I basically agree with you. Chavanel is no cobbles specialist, but he's pretty solid. And he's great on those vicious little climbs on the Flanders route. Terpstra is definitely better on the truly rough cobbles of PR. So, if I were in charge at OPQS, and Boonen was not on form, I'd back Chavanel in Flanders and Terpstra in Paris-Roubaix.Pentacycle said:Lol, both Terpstra and Chava did a lot of work for Boonen during the race, tbh Chavanel is overrated on cobbles.
