well Hincapie" is interviewed at velonews. Will Monty Dog and Andyp have to comment on a Hincpaie win? I think not but would you bet against it?

It's like the first cuckoo of spring - an interview with Hincapie just before the Classics when he says he's in fine shape.

Let's see. There are a lot of riders racing to win in the next week and maybe it will be Hincapie's year this year? He should watch O'Grady's win from two years ago to see how it's done, especially as he has no hope if he arrives at the finish with Boonen.

Yes, I did think this too. He is going well but he often does. Sadly the English-speaking press hype him up a bit too much. Maybe he'll deliver the goods this year, his team is strong with Eisel, Burghardt and Boassen-Hagen.

I agree he's a top domestique de lux and can go on any terrain, but I'll take you up on that bet. He won't win Flanders or Roubaix. Quick Step will squeeze the life out of the former and Thor has got his name on that rock.

Monty Dog

My tip for Roubaix is the mighty Thor - he's shown previous promise but been down on luck - Cervelo have got a well drilled outfit with Hammond and Haussler in support. That said, Quickstep have got 4 riders - Boonen, Van Impe, Chavanel and DeVolder all on song and with Lefevre at the helm.
