My guess is:
1. Boonen
2. Flecha
3. Maaskant
4. Hoste
5. Pozzatto or Hincapie
with Devolder and Hassler far away from the top10

come on maaskant does not has the abilities to follow the best riders like boonen,pozzato,cancellara etc...
he could be in the top 10 but he won't win...
he beat everyone except boonen, ballan and cancellara last year. Ballan isn't riding great.....Cancellara has had terrible luck.
He's a huge surprise. |

Maaskant has simply become better and better for every year. I wouldn't be surprised if he took the win tomorrow. |

Euskaltel are only starting with 6 riders...and a bunch of teams have 10 riders on the startlist....
wait, what?
It's cyclingnews,whaddya expect? 
EDIT: Remember when I mentioned Rui Costa was going to be the first neo-pro in a heck of a long time to ride all the major classics in his first season, except Roubaix?
He's going to ride Roubaix.
That's interesting, to say the least, for a rider whose "mould" is that of a Thomas Dekker or Vincenzo Nibali.

Impresive by a neo pro to ride all the big classics, lets hope it doesn't worn him out.

i did not say that maaskant isn't a good rider and does not have a little chance to win but i don'T think that he can mess with boonen or cancellara(if he is in shape)...you guys are rigth he is a big talent and i think he could win roubaix sooner or later but i don't think this year...and ruben i do watch cycling for much years.
oh and maaskant hadn't a good year until now...no victories or good races except for the team victory at the tour of quatar in the ttt...

no... 3 hours and half seem to be good. Last year was an half an hour and not live.
And I just so something... they will have Tour of Turekey this year, second stage live Monday and some highlights from the first stage that I think will be tomorrow.
