Mollema will have a very hard time winning this, watching from his couch with a broken clavicle. At Rabo, the guy to watch is Sebastian Langeveld, who's hitting on some form right now.auscyclefan94 said:

Oh, Evans off, you Evansy Evansing Evans. Evans evans the others for not evansing Evans. Bunch of Evansers. All Evanses would know that evansing Evans is key to Evansing at the most successful Evans, and it would be Evansy and Evansish to deny that Evans would evans his Evans to glory, or would have evansed his Evans to glory had the non-Evans Evanses on Lotto not refused to evans Evans.
Suddenly I'm reminded of Evander Sno. Any AFC Ajax fans who can tell me whatever happened to this guy?Libertine Seguros said:

He beat Tombo in a sprint in Paris-Tours. You don't do that if you're slow.
The course, and history, favours classics riders.
If it isn't won by a classics specialist though, I'd say that Dan Martin is a good outside bet. He's in red hot form at the moment, proved he can win a hilly but not mountainous one day race with a strong field just the other day, and came fifth here last year.

another vote for sagan but i do like garmins chances with hesjedal if he has any kind of form atm. I also like lars bak on htc just because hes a personal favorite.
He was in the perfect position to win it last year. The problem is, he doesn't have a sprint. To get away solo on this course is almost impossible.Zinoviev Letter said:

Come on, Tomeke is far faster than PG as Tomeke made a bad blunder in that sprint.

Of course Tom is naturally faster, but you still don't beat Boonen - and Bozic - in a sprint if you're slow.

Don't you mean "Evans on, Evans is far evansier than Evans as Evans made a bad evans in that evans"?

ACF believes me to be evansless. ACF is right.

Nice break of Evans, Evans, Evans, and Evans... I mean Vos, Arndt, Pooley, and Johansson. Will probably be a sprint between those four. Hmmm... who will win this, one wonders....?Libertine Seguros said:
If it is a sprint, then I would expect that Vos would take this 9 times out of 10. As a result I don't expect the other three to let it come to that - especially Johansson, who is still in with a shout of winning the World Cup.
No, Marianne Vos has it in the bag. The World Cup, that is. If Johansson wins, she as to be 4th, at least. I think she could do thatLibertine Seguros said:

last i remember he was at celtic... since then ?
tgsgirl said:
agreed.

if only we had a vos in men's cycling.
Be happy we have one in woman's cycling. She didn't win though, but that's because it wasn't a sprintTimmy-loves-Rabo said:
Emma Pooley killed everyone on the final ascent.auscyclefan94 said:
but i havnt tipped him to win, ive tipped him to come second. Go away and come back when you have all the second and third placed finishers for me
That aside, dunno, just got a hunch, and besides, would be boring if we all tipped the obvious.
ACF94: Last year it was almost a 50 man groupssprint, just a few stayed in front.
Jeremy Hunt has won this race in the past (a 'strong' surviving sprinter')
Farrar could win this. But I don't think a sprint uphill is his forté. It suits guys like Gerrans (well duh), Martens etc who were good last year more.
I'd do the chauvinistic tip: Langeveld.

Fr3 was showing the women's race yesterday, and we were able to watch that... so I would assume so.
I haven't seen a listing at Fromsport.com yet, but hopefully one of the feeds here will work:
