wonder how the favorite teams will react. Normally they always let Rabobank take the front because they are the home team and do all the work. But now I can't see Blanco giving a rats *** considering they don't have a favorite anyway.

So BMC and Cannondale get to do all the work today.

Guess again! The tactical geniusses at Blanco thought it was a good idea to start working with Cannondale :eek:

TGBM saying he was inspired by the performance of Vanmarcke....

riding to the finish with someone slower than you but still losing the sprint and becoming 2nd does indeed sound like Mollema to me. :p

+1 on this.

Though Dan Martin is usually faster than him.

Cheers, everyone! I can't see past Peter Sagan today, he is very strong, and so seems to be his team. He was really impressive at the Brabantse Pijl, and the only way he can't win is if he suffers a crash or a mechanical; of course, there's always the possibility of la fringale, but not today. I expect him to control the last 3km without any problems, in spite of the numerous attacks of his opponents.

I didn't said it's going to be easy, but he has the power and the experience to win this, even if all the other riders will work against him. Ok, an escape always has a chance to go until the end, but let's not forget that Cannondale isn't the only team interested in this race.

he's not going either because nobody is going.

Well let's be fair without me and ryo there is no reason for the others to go :eek:

And we won't even have the joy to have him here either :eek:

I was looking forward to spot him with the flag though :(

EDIT: His ban is up, so perhaps we will :D

I think Henao has the best chance today, even if the hill is short. Quintana will be one of the favorites on Wednesday, in Fleche Wallonne.
