This would actually be pretty awesome.Andre.J said:I would love to see Boonen and Hushovd entering the velodrome together and dueling for the sprint.
Katusha is stronger this year, and I'm not that so sure about Pozzato winning it, so...boardhanger said:No one speaks of Leif Hoste anymore?? Is he a Has Been or more to the point a Never Was?
Honestly, I'd fear Haussler more than Hushovd in Flanders. He's faster, he's got more punch on those hills. He doesn't need to get away a la devolder, he can win in a sprint against anybodyScott SoCal said:Cancellara.
Trek wants a monument badly. Barring health problems, he will be firing at Flanders and Roubaix.
Boonen will be there. Hushovd too.
I still say watch out for Haussler. While everyone is paying attention to Hushovd Heinrich may be able to roll away a la Devolder. I really see him doing something in either Flanders or Roubaix... and let's face it, Garmin - Cervelo have a scary good classics team.
I agree. I really think Haussler can do serious damage in both races (if he's healthy).Michielveedeebee said:Honestly, I'd fear Haussler more than Hushovd in Flanders. He's faster, he's got more punch on those hills. He doesn't need to get away a la devolder, he can win in a sprint against anybody
I like him and he's got some decent results. But Vlaanderen o' Roubaix are so long and hard I don't know yet for H.HScott SoCal said:I agree. I really think Haussler can do serious damage in both races (if he's healthy).

Although, Leif Hoste sounds like some sort of BBQ sauce.
This deserves a poll in itself alone!!Parrulo said:is it just me who thinks canc is way too much hyped cus of his performances last year? i mean some people even rate him above tomeke now. well imo tom still is the best cobbles rider around. . . .
That certainly is part of it - but I also think that Tom seems to be fading a bit recently (at least with no big wins in 2010), whereas Fabian certainly seemed to put himself in the spotlight far more last season. Remember - no one remembers who came second, and Tom only managed 2nd in Flanders and 5th in Roubaix last year.Parrulo said:is it just me who thinks canc is way too much hyped cus of his performances last year? i mean some people even rate him above tomeke now. well imo tom still is the best cobbles rider around. . . .
Let's just say that even the real Flandrian Tom Boonen supporters were calling Cancellara unbeatable.Parrulo said:is it just me who thinks canc is way too much hyped cus of his performances last year? i mean some people even rate him above tomeke now. well imo tom still is the best cobbles rider around. . . .
