Hard to figure out what's happening. I think Boonen and Devolder are in the front group.

Not that I can speak Spanish either, but still...

    I think Chavanel is up there as well. Will he be able to succeed with a trademark attack this time?!

    Looks like a fast race, they've done 180 kms in just under 4 hours.

    For sure. QuickStep and Steegmans want a sprint, but quite why Rabobank are working so hard isn't clear. Surely they'd be better off taking advantage of their numbers and trying to get someone away in a small group without either Boonen or Steegmans?

    Good to see Jeremy Hunt up there too.

    Yep, Haussler is there. But they are two Cervelo riders, Hunt is the other one.

    Hunt and Haussler are both there. Or Jeremy Urnt as the Frenchies call him :wink:

    Boonen v Eisel v Cooke

    Edit: Okay, Cooke is not there.

    They surely won't catch him now!

    He's still close enough to get in a sprint.

    Is there any rider in the world who would get a bigger cheer than Flecha if he wins Flanders or Roubaix?

    He deserves a monument that's for sure. He needs to work on his tactics though.

    Great ride by Hunt though. He said he wanted to win a semi-classic this season. 3rd at K-B-K is a good start.

    How strong was Chavannel?! Made all the difference for Boonen.

    Hard to bet against Quick-Step at Flanders.
    Note: the above post is an opinion and not fact. It might be a lie.

    All he can do is try what he just tried... he's never going to outsprint anybody so he has to get to the finish solo.

    I think Roubaix is his most likely option... just use his power to ride away on the cobbles. He was unlucky last year - punctured in Arenberg then got stuck fighting through the different groups.

    I just can't square Rabo on Giants. The only thing they've had going for them in the last decade or so is nice bikes. Now not even that!

    Don't remind me, he was my PTP pick! :roll:

    Let's not forget he was third in Flanders last year. He can win that too.
