The only chance of an interesting raceisbad weather else it's the inevitable bunch sprint. So I'm for wind from the side during the final flat 50km.

That's a good idea. Or how about actually going all the way to Kuurne and back again instead of doing a circuit?Libertine Seguros said:They really should put the circuits at the START of this race, not the end. If Nokereberg was 20km from the line as it would be in such a situation, it'd be a much more interesting race as even though the hard climbs would still be a way from the finish, it wouldn't be the "either awful weather or sprint" race that it is these days.

But then it would quite a short race, only 173km or so. Of course, they could find some more hills or do a couple more circuits of the hills and turn come back.Hugo Koblet said:That's a good idea.

Trek has multiple cards to play : Van Poppel, Stuyven, Nizzolo and Theuns....
I would say judging their results this year Nizzolo will be their man.
