[Lil_Tommy_V]

Similar quality gap here to Terpstra in La Samyn.

Big question here is if Orica can actually keep it together.

 

[del1962]

[Laplaz]

Let's see what Alaphilippe is able to do here...

 

[Pantani_lives]

*****Matthews
****Alaphilippe, Gallopin
***Hermans, Rebellin, De Gendt,
**Dumoulin, Pozzato, Wellens
*Slagter, Gasparotto, Weening, Devenyns

It's a pity that Gilbert won't be there. His attacks have often opened up this race.

 

[trucido]

Usually a better race than any of the Ardennes.

 

[Orbit501]

Re:

Not having the best of times at the mo. Vakoc team leader for this apparently.

 

[May0maniac]

If Orica can keep it together Coquard could surprise people.

Vakoc and Coquard should be mentioned

 

[rehy90]

My prediction is 1. Matthews, 2. Vakoc, 3. Gallopin...hoping for Vakoc though

 

[barmaher]

I would have Vakoc as one of the outside favourites. Two or three stars I think. I would give him more of a chance than Rebellin and de Gendt for sure.

 

[BigMac]

Galloping Foxley cycling masterclass.

Bryan Coquard wins the sprint for second.

 

[CheckMyPecs]

I'm putting a penny on Slagter.

 

[WillemS]

I'm curious about Slagter's performance here after his knee injury last year.

 

[PremierAndrew]

My money's on Gilbert... oh wait

 

[Guybrush]

Sonny Colbrelli!!!!

 

[Samamba]

Galloping Foxley cycling masterclass.

Bryan Coquard wins the sprint for second.

Gallopin felt sick after Pais Vasco so not sure if he's gonna be good today.

Nice race.

I quite agree with that, except Voeckler,he must be there in a second line.

I go with Ciolek anyway this time. And with Teklehaimanot.

People as Rosetto or Mate can do a good race as well.

Hope to see Dumoulin at a decent shape.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

A break of five (Zaugg, Bucchmann, Nikolaev & Cecchin) have 5 minutes - but we are only 80km into the race.

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Ah, Ciolek, another seemingly great talent that went to waste.

 

[Taxus4a]

Re:

Yes, but he al least won a MSR to Sagan and Cancellara.

 

[trucido]

Re: Re:

In a masterful display of wheelsucking.

*Waits for the holier than thou posters to declare how I know nothing about cycling.*

 

[Pantani_lives]

There goes my hope for De Gendt. He has to work. I would have preferred to see him attack. Let's see if his team mate Gallopin or Wellens can finish it...

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Re: Re:

He should have won so much more.

 

[RedheadDane]

Dammit, Chris Anker, that was not how I wanted to first see the Dannebrog jersey!
