The race named after Miguel Indurain should be won by a rider like the great man, and with Vincenzo Nibali we may have that man. With good form off the Tirreno Adriatico, he should be able to compete. Ponzi, Galdos and Jonty Locke will all be free element domestiques. The route is made for a puncher, so Nibbles will have to fight hard. Let's just hope a certain young man from Slokavkia won't be riding here.

The Tour of Flanders is here, and the equal biggest cobbled race on the calendar will be another legendary race. The favourites are obviously Cancellara, Boonen and co, but Seb Langeveld has something to say about that. He's in the best form of his career, and will look to bounce back after an unlucky Omloop het Nieuwsblad, before the legendary Paris-Roubaix.

The Tour of the Basque Country is an ever-unpredictable race, and the only thing you can rely on is crazy fans cheering on their countrymen on the sidelines. As a UWT stage-race, competition will be strong from the non-cobbled specialists. While Tony Martin is our leader, his poor form will mean our only Basque-man Aitor Galdos will have our best chance at a great result. The crowd will love him, especially since the boys in orange are no longer around. Ponzi and Jonty Locke are also good bets.

The same squad from the Basque Country, and a similar outlook. It seems Aitor will again have the best chance, while Tony Martin just builds up form. Ponzi and JTL again will be chances.

And here it is, the famous Paris-Roubaix. The same situation as Flanders, with Langeveld the silent killer looking to surprise the favourites. The support is there, but can Langeveld do it?
