All of the major races are shown in the U.S. Levi, they are normally on at around 4-5 o'clock, Sunday on Versus, except for the Tour, which is on live in July.
It was rodda (from Australia), not Levi

I dont see this as the queen of the classics, as you do Doddy, I personally like RvV more, because of the very hard hills, not just 1 flat race, in hills,it's easier to attack and makes it easier to forecome a bonnen win than on the total flat, anyways to the favourites, I dont see Cancellara riding away from boonen in this form, also not Hoste, or Hincapie, if boonen doesnt win, I think it will be Flecha,Nuyens or Devolder.

I also voted Boonen cause he was very good at RVV and will do well here imo, I also expect Hoste and Flecha, especially if it rains.
I also feel Van Avermaet might be an outsider for PR, I think he can be the Devolder of PR  |

I hate to be another person overhyping their own country riders, but to me Bäckstedt is looking quite good
If he won't take it I use Nuyens as my wild card |

I'm not sure if Doddy think that either....it's nicknamed "Queen of the Classics"....like L-B-L is nicknamed "La Doyenne" for example |

Hey, if it is one race we swedes are not overhyping a swedish rider, it is Paris-Roubaix. After all Bäckstedt has won it so we know he can.

Well that was 4 years ago and he has been injured this year, so he isn't the big favorite exactly.....but we can always have hope |

Hehe, of course, and the metal thingy by his collar bone will only make him stronger! Oooo that felt goooood!
So, that's enough from me..

i know me poll isn't perfect
but give me a break. Is Burghardt injured???
i thought i saw him riding RVV?
or did he fell in that race. hopefully not as hard as GOmez
devolder should be up there. a couple of years ago he finished quite high. and when were talking about backstedt; lets be reasonable. he rode one good P-R en he won it. i don't think we'll see him this year(i could be wrong off course)
and Ballan after the RVV i don't see him winning an classic. He wasn't in good shape |

He was 4th the year after so you have a weird sense of the word good |

As a Norwegian i of course hope on Hushovd but it don't think there is a very big chance for him to win.
I think Boonen will take it.

I think it is because he has not been in good shape since his crash in the tour last year |
