Haussler has been fantastic this season, desperately unlucky in Het Volk and M-SR, I think with doubts ove Ballan and Cancellara's fitness he is the best bet of stopping Disco Tom from pulling off the Flanders/Roubaix double, that said it'll be very difficult QS look really strong. Devolder and Chavenel are leaders for the Classics in any other team,at QS they are plan B and C. Haussler's problem is going to be keeping enough teammates with him so he doesn't get isolated like today.
As for Cavendish doing the same thing? Not a chance, he's a pure sprinter.


I think Devolder and Chavanel have a better chance at stopping Boonen from winning the double than any other team/cyclist in the peloton, Haussler included.

Yesterday at Dwaars it was van Impe; last year at Flanders it was Devloder. The biggest threat to Boonen is if one of his teamates goes up the road and nobody in his group will chase them down, forcing Boonen to sit in the chase and watch his buddy win.
