TV coverage - still no racing on Eurosport until Paris-Nice, but Cyclingfans will hopefully come up with goods and provide us with a live stream.

A gentle reminder - you can only pick one rider. You can speculate about who will ride well, or who might get on the podium or whatever, but please make it absolutely clear who you think will win.

The race starts Saturday at 10.45. Picks must be in by 11am, give or take a few minutes.

GILBERT, Philippe, on the grounds that If Boonen wins, he won't win de Ronde.

Cheers
