    Did he really show much in the cobbled classics last year? Ok, 10'th in Flanders is good, but aside from that?

    Het Nieuwsblad: Van Avermaert. Sneaks away without much pomp, suddenly at 10km to go everyone realises he's great but won't drag any BMC guys to the finish.

    Kuurne Brussel Kuurne: Boonen - to make up for being shocking in het volk from a sprint out of a small peloton

    Strade Bianchi: Gilbert.

    Milan San Remo: Freire. Again.

    E3: Boonen - sprint from small group

    Ghent Wevelgem: Boonen - like he did last year

    De Ronde van Vlaanderen: Cancellara. Blows everyone away with a lap to go.

    Paris Roubaix: Boonen, from a sprint of 3 (again)

    Is Boonen not riding Milan-San Remo and the Ronde?

    The BMC team roster look pretty scary in terms of classic firepower.

    PTP rolls out today, and it's sunny, well in London anyway. Life is good.

    and Tom Petty just came on the radio, can it get any better :D

    Has been mentioned before, but possibly no Arenberg for Paris Roubaix

    How about Lars Boom to do something this spring. Not sure what though, maybe win one of the semi "(Flat) Classics" or maybe a high placing in one of the big ones!

    Is that vague enough?

    :D

    Think that counts as a correct prediction!

    Het Nieuwsblad/Kuurne Brussel Kuurne: Hushovd (HN), Degenkolb (KBK)

    Strade Bianchi: Pozzato from a small group

    Milan San Remo: Cav. Easily.

    E3: Steegmans to get his big one day win

    Ghent Wevelgem: Hushovd again

    De Ronde van Vlaanderen: Boonen to come back big time

    Paris Roubaix: Thomas will take his first major road victory here

    1 out of 8 wasn't bad.
