Forget your Tour de France silliness. Paris-Roubaix, who needs it? This is the big one... the one you've all been waiting for... the highlight of the season... it's THE ENECO TOUR!

Now don't get too excited as you peruse the start lists:

http://cyclingstartlists.com/2007/08Aug/11Eneco.htm

And the official website:

http://www.sport.be/enecotour/2007/nl/

Race starts Wednesday with a short prologue. From the parcours section it looks like there are 3 hilly stages. Ends next Wednesday with a 30km TT, so should favour a strong all-rounder.

Live coverage on cycling.tv, and joking aside, last year's race was actually quite exciting (remember Schumi pushing Big George into the barriers on the last day?)

    It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    It's my birthday on Wednesday so be kind to me everyone, letting me win everything in this warm up for the Tour of Poland would be a nice gesture.

    Theres a discrepancy between the cyclingnews start list and cyclingstartlists.com (again) for this event. Assuming the latter is correct,

    Overall Pip Gilbert

    Edit - As Gilbert is elsewhere on the Continent, he won't be starting.

    Gilbert won stage 1 of the Tour du Limousin today, so you may want to pick again.

    Well they gotta show something on there I suppose.

    You just have to ride like you never have to breathe again.
