jaylew said:I actually thought that George looked in good form at Gent. He was in the front group and constantly covered moves for EBH after he went away. Not that I think he'll win Sunday...
Cosette said:Boonen appears to be the hot favourite once again.... Just like Milan-San Remo.... Is Cavendish starting???
A little more seriously though.
Boonen does have a good chance, as always. Whether he'll be able to deliver is another matter. We'll see.
Flecha promised he'd try something in Paris-Roubaix. So I'm hoping he'll keep true to his words. I'd love to see that. Plus that I hope he'll get a little bit more lucky this time around....
Then there's Hincapie/Devolder/Sylvain Chavanel/Maaskant/Cancellara who all have a good shot...
I do wonder how Langeveld is doing. The media are suggesting his confidence got dented in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, which would be understandable I guess. But the media being what they are, I wonder how much they make up....
Hmm...Did I forget someone??
mr. tibbs said:lol, no i think he's focusing on winning the Tour now.
dimspace said:im confused, some bookies are offering really short odds on cavvy winning and hes on the provisional lists...
i love the guy, but hes not got a hope in hell.. are the bookies just hedging there bets or was flanders, and gent along with a bit of mid season veledrome practice all part of the plan..![]()

stefank said:That's not exactly true - there are about half a dozen on the start list I think. Did you mean to say no Australians with much of a chance of being near the front at the finish?
James Jordan said:As their are no Australian in the race (Haussler is officially a German) I would like to see Hincapie finally take the podium. The guy is always their till the end putting his heart and soul into the race but always has some nasty piece of luck which takes him out of the race. I just want him to finally take it just to put him out of his misery.
If he falls again then go Flecha.
