Will be great for sure.
But Alakagom, the PCM profile you've included is the 2011 route.

Ronde  I hope the new route is as good as the old one used to be, although missing the Muur will be sad.
Damn April is so awesome.

My brother is thinking Boonen, but for the win I will definetely go for Fabian. The new parcours is way harder than last year and I think that Cancellara can pull it home on the hills. Also, Cancellara had the problem that nobody wanted to work with him (Ballan in P-R for example) because of his crushing E3. So maybe they will fear Boonen now, instead of Cancellara. |

It will certainly be very different without de Muur 
I've been there 3 times the day before de Ronde, when the amateurs ride 'their' Ronde (I watched them, didn't ride it myself, because I don't have a good bike ) and I really love Geraardsbergen and de Muur..
But, it won't be boring with the new route, that's for sure!
It will be a big party like always, especially here in the 'Dorp van de Ronde' Torhout The party here has already started 3 months ago, and it will have a peak next sunday I guess!
I'm looking forward to it! |

Think Fabian will win. Hope Matti can go on the podium. He seems in good shape right now and is back after that terrible last year. Would be deserved and great if he can show now that he can make top results in the biggest classics. |

I'm almost sure that it will be a duel between Boonen and Fabian but there's ofcourse one big difference: Fabian needs to get rid of Boonen before they arrive in Oudenaerde and that's one big advantage, Boonen only has to follow.
GO TOM!

The best race of the year.
I've got some money on Boonen at 5:1 odds. Cancellara was at about 2:1 so I think that was a good idea. Honestly I think Cancwllara will be marked like last year because Boonen doesn't have his same ability to ride people off his wheel. This in turn means Boonen will be less marked. Boonen can also win from a small group whereas Cancellara struggles with that.

Hilaire van der Schueren just announced the line up for Vacansoleil at RVV, while he was being interviewed by Sporza at De Panne-Koksijde:
Leukemans
Devolder
Marcato
Boeckmans
Selvaggi
Mol
Larsson
Westra
Looks quite solid, VCD is definitely sending their top cobbled riders for this. The only names I'm missing are Hoogerland and Veuchelen. I can imagine Van Impe would have been there if he didn't quit cycling. |

Gilbert? Well, that's a ... courageous ... guess.
I have a feeling that an outsider (= anyone but Cancellara and Boonen) will win. Would be fun |

Hopefully Boonen will take this. I like him way more than I like Cancellara
