Who will win the E3 HARELBEKE?

[Marco Pantani]

Well i'm into the poll thing right now.
The race definately deserves one.

 

[Panda Claws]

Shouldn't Miburo make those?

 

[Marco Pantani]

Well, as Ciolek isn't riding this one, Miburo wouldn't mind i guess.

I had him in mind for Sam Remo, but putting him into the top 9 favourites was a tough call.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Cancellara!

 

[Der Effe]

Boom ofcourse. Ever since they started broadcasting Blanco has been on fire!

 

[Panda Claws]

Peter Sagan will win the sprint from a decent sized group.

 

[Afrank]

Sagan is angry that Cancellara closed down his attacks and made him do the chasing at the race that should have been his for the taking, he wants revenge. Sagan to terminate everyone that get's in his way.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Sagz but I would also like Pippo or Stannard

 

[staubsauger]

Actually Gilbert should win one of the Vlaamse classics this year. He wasn't looking that bad at Parijs - Nice. But while being at BMC I highly doubt he will suceed.

If this years spring campaign is an as big fiasco as last years he should go back to Lotto for sure and ride every classic in Belgique again.

PS: Is E3 prijs small enough to let Boom win it?

 

[Marco Pantani]

Cancellara will teach him a lesson on the cobbles.
He's done with that kid.

Sagan showed in Flanders last year that he had the legs to ride on cobbles. He just needs the brains. He's tied with Fabian

 

[mewmewmew13]

my man is Fabs. hungry for win..prove to Sagz he can do it

Pippo would be a fun winner ...for a wild finish

 

[stefrees]

I'm going with T. Geraint

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Roelandts or Offredo FTW.

Mh, last year, he wasn't with the top 3. Surely he's stronger this year. But no one doubted Cancellaras shape last year, coming super strong from Strade Bianche and MSR. He was a level above the others.

Der Bär von Bern will unleash his fury in the next two weeks.

Doubt he was that much stronger than Boonen, if at all.

It's been a long time since Chava has won a cobbled race.
He's in very good form and I expect him to be OPQS' first choice on Friday.
Sagan will probably want a revenge, but Cannondale's numbers and Sagan's experience aren't convincing enough for me.
I think Cancellara will keep his powder dry, and besides that I think his current form isn't like it used to be at this time of year previous years. Probably he realized that the age narrowed his peak period and decided to shift it a week later than previous seasons.

 

[Marco Pantani]

We saw Ballan and Pozzato riding Boonen off their wheels on the Paterberg. They just didn't realized, he was struggling that much. For me, that was the final indicator, that Cancellara was stronger than the others.

 

[gruppeto993]

People are making it sound as if canc is 35-40 yrs old. He is 32 and he still has another 3 good years left in him. He is hungry for a win but his team today were absolutely crap. Devolder arrived two places ahead of the lanterne rouge! He needs a strong team to beat sagan. I hope he can take it.
I expect stannard and pozzato to go well too.

 

[Pippo_San]

Pozzato is my man. FFS I really hope he'll win a race

 

[Tigerion]

dark horse of Keukeleire to surprise and steal a gap while Sagan and Fabian argue about who needs to chase

 

[the asian]

Pippo to continue the Italian streak in the Belgian cobbled races.

 

[greenedge]

I voted Sagan- though i wish for Cancellara to dominate.

Boom, Chavanel and Gilbert will also feature.

Boonen had a problem with his chain, he said.

 

[maltiv]

Is it exactly the same course as last year or?

Let's not forget that it was a huge bunch sprint last year. The poll doesn't seem to take that into account
