Dwars door Vlaanderen March 20, 2013

[Roude Leiw]

Pretty strong group. Could make it all the way. Who will do the work in the peloton?

Devolder

EDIT: More seriously, there are some teams not represented or represented with a rather weakish link in the group...
so even if looking good, I think that they will be pulled back. More in 20 min, belgian tv will be live in 10, that will give an idea

 

[wirral]

Hayman in the leading group is the one to watch.
