Default Het Volk picks
Cycling news has the start list.

I think I have to go with Cancellara. Aside from his let down in the ToC's ITT, he is in good form.

Vaitkus - in form. Astana need it.

Eisel - in form.

In case of small breakaway

Gilbert
Sylv Chavanel
Burghardt

Going to do more research but Vaitkus, Eisel, Gilbert and Chavanel are my leans.

Good to see Verbrugghe on the start list. Seems as if he has had a hard luck career.

But I'll stick with the obvious: Boonen, with Steegmans as a second guess.

I'm a Kurt Arversen fan!

Hushovd's a shrewd choice.
