I would say: injured. But it's Boonen. 
But I'll adjust it, thanks for backing up with a link

Spartacus... The only man who has been close to following him, and even then is struggling, was Sagan...
Fabian will attack, everyone in the lead group will look at each other to respond and by then it will be too late.
The interesting race will be the one for second. Roelandts now is favorite i reckon, along with Chavanel and Thomas (yes clearly a lot of bias there). Hope Turgot can put in a good ride as well.
Frankly i wont be going out of my way to watch. If i'm sitting around i'll out it on, but there is nothing to make it exciting at the moment.
All eyes ahead to AGR!

I put my bet on l'Arbre or Gruson sections where the decisive move will come from Fabian.

I might have to change my opinion about who's the better cyclist after this P-R. Maybe i rate Fabian higher than Tom... Idk actually both great riders

I can't see anyone stopping Luigi, but here's hoping for a repeat of the 2011 miracle. A great show of team tactics that was, even the TV motorbike helped.

Spartacus will take this, no doubt about it. He is on form, and no one has able to stop him, even at E3, an "easier" cobbled classic. $40 on Cancellara!

I think all the other riders should adopt my usuall tactic for the PCM-cobbles; man-mark Cancellara and do whatever he does. Attack, relax, puncture, fall, whatever.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

I just hope Thomas doesn't pull his usual party trick and crash at one of the crucial moments of the race |

Cancellara, end of story. But some crazy attacking outcome like 2011 would be nice.
Sagan actually did want to go to Roubaix this year, but his team was against it from what i have read. I suppose some rest prior to AGR could be good and he has time for Roubaix.

I think Langeveld deserves to be in the big favourite group of Ladagnous..
His form is pretty good...

It actually will be harder for Fabian without Boonen and Sagan. Everyone will look at him, no one will help his team (though with Devolder he should have someone that will do his job into the final this year). A 2011 scenario could be possible.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.
