David Boucher to be in the break then. I have to say, Rabo have a good sprint train for this race.

The last time Rabobank started with all their sprinters it ended in a big fat fail. So expect Greipel to win

Yes but wasn't that because they decided to build their sprint around Oscar "El Slowpoke" Freire?

Yes, with Michael "Ride your leader into the barriers" Matthews as a leadout ;)

Are you deliberately forgetting about Murcia?

You said nothing about the competition. It just didn't end in a failure

Greiple will want some miles in his legs for M-S-R but I'm not sure he'll go full bore for this one.

I go for -

1 Matthews
2 Blythe
3 Hutarovich

I go for

1. Mellow Velo
2. the_youngest
3. Moondance

I'll be dropped on Nokereberg as I hate cobbles. Barrus and Timme_loves_rabo will drop back and try to bring me back, but to no avail, we'll finish minutes behind

I have a climbers physique, and no sprint to speak of, so this would be a very good result for me.
