    ASO actually invited Topsport and Landbouwkrediet, but were told by the UCI they had to take those two instead. Something to do with the World Rankings that no-one knows exist.

    I hope he does do it, he deserves it.

    Maybe if everyone stopped saying that, he might actually win! But you've just messed it up for him this year. When his bike explodes/crashes into a ditch/gets sent off course/abducted by aliens (delete where appropriate...) we know who to blame :x

    Exactly, who was it that said "Big George" was going to win the '06 Tour de France? So maybe we should be looking for a Spanish outisder to win PR, maybe it will be Flecha after all...

    Looking at his current form, I think Boonen has a mighty fine chance yet again.

    Agreed - it's the sort of honesty/realism that benefits the sport.
