Cancellare did not look that hot to me in RVV, but maybe I am mistaken...

I'd love to see Flecha win P-R.
He's a superb rider.

But if I had to bet the deeds of the house - I'm going with Cancellara.
(I'll probably be homeless, come Monday).

Kiss of death, Fabian's my bet.

LOL. Doesn't everyone else have to crash for that to happen?

Hah! Cavendish is starting for High Road. He'll last all of the first 100km maybe. Can't see him wanting to ride down the Arenberg section if he thinks sprinting at Ghent Wevelgem is too dangerous . Still 5 Brits starting which can only be a good thing. Maybe an early 5 man break to go away and claim the top 5 places. Bring it on.

Cancellara was cooked and CSC gave O'Grady the all clear. He simply dropped the hammer and left then floundering.

Why do you say this? Has O'Grady fully recovered from injury?
