    I voted Roubaix, just for that iconic helicopter shot of the trench cutting through the Arenberg forest, and the anticipation / excitement / fear as they approach that section. The most exciting 5 minutes of every cycling season, bar none.

    More exciting than the Pogio?

    Hell yeah. Dunno why but MSR has never really floated my boat.

    Last 5 years have been great.

    After today's shower of a race I think PR has this in the bag
    I can't see PR being much different to what we had yesterday, especially with Radioshack's newly discovered ability to set a tempo that won't allow breaks to go away.

    Roubaix. It was the first Classic I ever watched (1990) and I couldn't believe people were racing road bikes on thise farm tracks. It will always be my favourite race but I do like Flanders too.

    I think the poll would probably have Roubaix further ahead if it hadn't been started in the build up to Flanders. Roubaix will be harder to control - it seems to come down to a smaller group of favourites earlier and more often - Cancellara has to be favourite but it's not as nailed on this time.
    it's a hard life if you don't weaken.
