I know the Paris-Roubaix thread is already made, but this is a thread purely about your predictions. Please post your top 5/10

Here is a document of the predictions of the Ronde van Vlaanderen:

^ Made by Boomcie, he deserves all the credit for that one. Hope he makes another one for the queen of classics :D

My top 5:

1. Tom Boonen: have been saying it since the start of the season, this man will win Roubaix.
2. Filippo Pozzato
3. Alessandro Ballan
4. Juan Antonio Flecha
5. Rast

3. Vanmarcke
4. Pozzato
5. Flecha

Difficult to see past Boonen, really.
Should Boonen have a mechanical/crash anyone of numbers 2, 3, and 4 could take it.

Hushovd

Chavanel & Terpstra burn themselves for Tom, Guesdon to claim a top 10.
 
Flecha, Pozzato, Boonen, EBH, Hushovd

Obviously Tombo is a worthy favourite, but cycling doesn't work like that.

Flecha is tough as old boots and one of these days he is going to hit the jackpot.

Sunday could be the day. He won't have Cancellara, Tombo will be marked, Thor is off form and he has a strong team lined up.
