Indeed, but the fact that there is now the E3 prijs/Gent Wevelgem pro tour combination in the weekend comes also into play. Until a few years ago you had only E3 prijs in the weekend plus Brabantse Pijl which was mainly raced by the hilly riders.

Plus the E3 prijs has moved to friday, and Milano Sanremo to a sunday. So there's a day less after Sanremo (and people who rode that really need to recuperate from that) and there's only one day between this race and the much more important E3-prijs. Really tough spot in the calender now.

Should be an open race. Will stannard have recovered from his mammoth ride in SanRemo to really compete here?

Or indeed anyone who finished SanRemo? Presumably that played a big role in chavanel pulling out
 
I ll be rooting for Chainel even though he didnt show anything yet this year, so my hopes are pretty low.

Guess it will be between Stannard, Leukemans, Gallopin and Terpstra.

Flecha is also off the startlist now?

EDIT: Flecha is still on at the Vacansoleil site, but he got removed on some startlists
 
I asked both SKY and Geraint today on twitter but got ignored twice :(

He tweeted this today:
