Default Dwars door Vlaanderenenenen

Belive it or not, this is one of my favorite races. Anybody want to make a prediction?

I am going with Nico Eeckout if motor pacing is permitted. Otherwise, I am going with my man Dr. Dave Bruylandts.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nick Nuyens actually won.

Steegmans was shot out the back of MSR on Saturday. Cancellara has the form but I wonder if he has the focus or if he is still celebrating. Devolder is one of the dumbest riders I've ever seen and I doubt he will ever win a major race.

Does Hayman have any form this year?

hayman got injured in cali. But he threw in a great attack in 2005, should have won the race that year.

I will go with, C, ED, NS and choose Live Tyler.

How about one of the two young sprinters on Lotto. Van Avermaet or Jurgen Roelandts. Both impressive youngsters.

Avermaet had a good 2007 as a neo prof. Fast finish, very ambitious and is looking likely for a strong career in these sorts of races. Not sure on his curent form though, had been out sick for awhile.

Boonen.


My second bet would be O'Grady.
