This really could end up being won by an attacker. The sprinters dont have many teammates left, and Sagan will probably join in on a Boonen attack
In that case I'd bet on boonen. Sagans sprint after a late two men attack is incredibly shitty

well, it also depends on how big room they would have to apply some tactics. Boonen can't afford any ease of the pace in the last kms, because that would give sagan room to recover.

Many cowards in the first group. Where's Cav? Wheelsucking much.

He did some pretty good pulls that split it in the first place. It's probably smart, Belgium have the most riders so they should do most of the work. Furthermore there might be attacks later on so he should freshen up for that.

Okay, but in the crosswinds it's better anyway to be in front/near the front, else you risk getting blown out of the back.
