Gilbert is focussing on the Ardennes classics, like Rin says. 
I think Ronde van Vlaanderen suits him also (he was 3rd last year). I also think that Fleche Wallone doesn't suit him so well (just see last year's scenario, when he got dead after being supported by Cadel Evans, who in the end proved to be much stronger than Gilbert in this type of classic). The Mur de Huy is just too long and too tough for him. Amstel and Liege maybe. He was 4th in both last year.

Agreed CT. He was just sucking wheels all day, even when Chainel was dropped from the main group.
Driedaagse De Panne - Koksijde, stage 2
1. Sébastien Turgot (Bbox - Bouygues Telecom) FRA
2. Philippe Gilbert (OmegaPharma - Lotto) BEL
3. Andriy Grivko (Astana) UKR
4. Jens Mouris (Vacansoleil Pro Cycling Team) NED
5. Bobbie Traksel (Vacansoleil Pro Cycling Team) NED 41"
6. Luca Paolini (Acqua & Sapone) ITA
7. Nikolai Trussov (Team Katusha) RUS
8. Hayden Roulston (Team HTC - Columbia) NZL
9. Mirco Lorenzetto (Lampre - Farnese Vini) ITA
10. James Vanlandschoot (Verandas Willems) BEL
GC:
1. Luca Paolini (Acqua & Sapone) ITA
2. Andriy Grivko (Astana) UKR 0"
3. Frédéric Amorison (Landbouwkrediet) BEL 09"
4. David Millar (Garmin - Transitions) GBR 12"
The GC will probably go to Millar or Grivko now, as Westra lost 3 minutes today.
Settimana Lombarda, Prologue (Colle Gallo)
1. Michele Scarponi (Androni Giocattoli - Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni) ITA
2. Matteo Carrara (Vacansoleil Pro Cycling Team) ITA 16"
3. Przemyslaw Niemiec (Miche Pro Cycling Team) POL 20"
4. Riccardo Ricco (Ceramica Flaminia - Bossini Docce) 21"
5. Luca Zanasca (CDC - Cavaliere) ITA 29"
6. Rob Ruijgh (Vacansoleil Pro Cycling Team) NED 33"
7. Emanuele Sella (Carmiooro - NGC) ITA 35"
8. Sergio Pardilla (Carmiooro - NGC) ESP 37"
Notice the time differences. The prologue was held on the Colle Gallo.

Heh. Rmember the insane danish chicken fans at the start of the season yelling in the PCMDaily DB stats topic that he was way underrated and would be back to being great this season?
He lost over 2 minute. In a 6.6km mountain prologue.

He's like Boonen, though. After each race, he comes up with an excuse.
... or actually, it's the same excuse every time. Apparently, he's been sick for the entire year. |

I love this comment by some guy on the Velonews article
Will 36 minutes ago:
Ha! April Fools! We all know that Farrar probably finished in 2nd as usual!

I heard (don't remember where) that he was dealing with some physical issues last year, just normal older age ones, like back and knee problems, and that a lot of it has been solved. I wouldn't be surprised if he puts in some good results this year. |

If Westra didn't lose 3 minutes yesterday in the final 10km, he would've won the Panne.
Millar can thank the gods for the rain and wind yesterday. |

So basically, If Westra was a better rider, he would have won ... (you could say that for a lot of riders surely)

Thing is, he decided to take off his rain jacket. Hadnt he done that, there (most likely) wouldn't have been a problem. |
