Broken bones. Will be back racing in about May or so. With any luck he might be able to be in form for the Tour....if he recovers quickly enough.

Isso, whats up with the countdown?
MSR should be good, I think a late flyer over the climbs will win it this year. |

A sprint is due in this one, and I think we'll get one this time out. Would be nice to see one too.
And I don't think anyone has really shown the form this year yet to blast away from everyone else after 300k of racing. 
Bet LA crashes too. |

Why do I get the feeling that on saturday afternoon I'll have ten people yelling at me that I was wrong about it not ending in a sprint, and me retorting that a 10 man sprint between riders who attacked is not a bunch sprint?

Well, I'm going for the bunch sprint. And if Boonen, Petacchi and Bennati are there, then it's a bunch sprint.
But, if it's Schleck being outsprinted by a one legged rider and a kid on a tricycle, then it's not a bunch sprint.  |

Schlecks are the best sprinters in the world, they just dont take it seriously,  at all.

Nope. I've seen Fothen win a two-up sprint, so there are people slower than him

No Cance. He'll be 28 on the day of the race, but he's not riding.

Schleck outsprinted Nibali in the ToC though. Even though Nibali worked more he still did.
I'm hoping for a bunch sprint, the sprinters deserve their own monument classic and it's more intresting that way. |

strange beginning of season for Cancellara : winning a prologue, then a fever, a strange injury during training, the ghost of himself during Tirreno
hope he'll be in better form for RVV and Paris-Roubaix |

Looool marble, Nibali didn't even sprint there. That is no argument that Schleck 'outsprinted him'
Even I can beat Nibali in a sprint if I stay in his wheel all the time and he is dead. |
