The Ronde van Vlaanderen is the only one where he missed the top 3. Unless you coun't G-W, but I don't think it's worth the name classic.

Has anyone heard something about Gilbert's mirror image by the way? Haven't seen him since the Tour of Belgium.
Classica - stacked field
Strong field...if these guys show. Some tired legs on that list, tho. How 'bout Purito? He should be fresh

The Tour guys should normally have better legs

I thought Phil would be tired after the tour, but from what he said, he will be a factor. JRo and Samu are the other main favourites. Chavanel and de Gendt were riding themselves into form after crashes in week 1. GvA might be up there in the mix (I would call San Sebastian hilly rather than mountainous and that suits him). Rabobank look to have the best team by far (too many chiefs?). Will Gesink and Ten Dam be 100% fit?

My thoughts exactly.
I really like this race. I think it has a unique character and nice scenery. It's a fantastic one-day classic but we also get a good look at how riders are recovering from the Tour and how other riders are getting in shape for the Vuelta. I think a lot of riders don't know their own form at this time and some of them try things out that can be interesting.

The opposite of Gilbert: the eternal wheelsucker. The one person who Leipheimer fears the most.

are you referring to the one that made Karl Vannieuwkerke buy a lot of beer ?
btw. Roman Kreuziger is not starting, today's eximination showed broken wrist from the crashes at Tour, his hand will be in plaster for next 6 weekes..

Chavanel could be very good here. I think this course is too long for de Gendt. I don't think Gesink will ride but Rabobank should have a good team anyway.

He shall not be named!
But yeah
samu, cunego, de gendt, rabobank
not sure about Phil, too tough with this second lap (Jaizkibel, Arkale)
I will be in Jaizkibel

Last year Luis Leon Sanchez was awesome (that attack was insane), and he didn't seem to be that good in the TDF, so riders that did well but not amazing might also be up there for the win.
