Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

What an incredible startlist  . I don't feel so bad now for picking the team I did. Good to see IAM at a race, I thought they had folded  .
Boonen will win though (of course). I reckon Cancellara will be outsprinted (of course) and BMC will get 5 guys in the top 20 but none of them in the top 5.

Meh, startlist is too strong 
Hoping that Khamphan can make the goal...
It's even an 'easy' goal actually

Little chance of Degenkolb being in the front group in the spring classics then |

Good, there's only room for one Swiss team. I plan on signing all of your good riders anyway.
I assume we shall meet again in Lugano.

Wow, really nice startlist. If id've known the startlist would be out so early id've waited with the preview. (Not that anyone seems to have taken any notice  )
Also, it's Khamphan, not Phamphan.

That reminded me of this:
Hopefully it will be a nice race, with so many good riders at the start. Sagan and Krizan should at least be able to get me one top 10.
I just hope Di Silvestro can help Khamphan till at least the finale. |

Soon after the Omloop kicks off the classic season the next cobbled race is Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne. As the stage is less selective than the Omloop it gives the sprinters a better chance for winning this race.
It is supposed that there is a large group that’s been thinned down by the racing because there are eight climbs and some cobbled sections along the way. They’re tough but mostly during the middle of the race. This means a sprinter who is also decent at cobbles and hills has the best chances to celebrate in the end.

Greipel (72COB/82SP) is the best sprinter here. His leadout train is superb with strong cobbled rider and Roelandts(77/76) as last man.
Argos has brought the strongest possible cobble squad to lead out Degenkolb (75/79). They want a sprint finish while Omega Pharma wants a very small group fighting for the win so that Stybar (78/72) has good chances to finish high.
Khamphan(80/73), Boasson Hagen(74,76), Haussler (77/76)
Jango Sithembile (80/63), Stromberg(67/78), Flecha (77/67), Vanmarcke (79/68)
Flecha(77/67), Andrews(77/70), Nizzolo(67/77), Verboven (75/75), Turgot(78/72)

Sorry. Just copied the startlist sent to me without paying much more thought, so I guess you'll have to take that with his manager

I once again agree with TMM (man, you've got to stop being so right all the time!). Flecha and Leukemans should only be doing WT races. Same with Astana's and Katusha's top riders. For example, if Nibali turns up at Oman (if that ever starts) or Trentino, I'm gonna come round there and I'm gonna insert my foot in your ass. And nobody wants that to happen.
