No racing in Catalunya so might as well get started on this.

No Chavanel? Or are IAM not racing?

Will Boom even start? I read he wouldn't be ready for RvV...

Boom doesn't start, will come back in Gent-Wevelgem.

Langeveld probably deserves a star, he is in good shape, and is often good in the E3.

Definitely an interesting race this year.

So far we don't have a clear favorite for Vlaanderen and Roubaix. Cancellara looks good, but maybe not as good as last year. Sagan hasn't impressed as much as previous years either. Boonen seems decent, but not more than that.

When you look at the semi-favorites, nothing stands out either. Stybar is decent, Vanmarcke was good in the Omloop, but we don't know yet how much he improbed. Kristoff is certainly really good, but it's unlikely he'll win the Ronde or Roubaix this year after Sanremo. Terpstra has maybe impressed the most so far, but so far was never capable of winning a big one.

This race will probably tell us a lot more about what we can expect the next couple of weeks. Should be interesting.

I expect a strong Langeveld as well. Rode his best San Remo so far and was in the best 8 over the Poggio.

I'd definately rate him stronger than Degenkolb, Roelandts, Devolder, Farrar, Pozzato and others named in the preview above ;)

Which preview?

This pretty much sums it up. It will be a lot closer than last year, that's for sure.

Ya I agree as well. Personally I'm hoping to see Cancellara do well. I was glad to see at Milan, that after such a hard day, he was able to sprint well.
