Default Ronde picks

This is a goal for Cancellara. He'll probably be scary strong. How can you pick against him?

Actually I am going to pull for Hincapie even though I think he lost his best chance when he crashed in California last year. Well, that and moving away from Bruyneel's doping program.

He's been strong for many weeks now, gotta drop off at some point.

I'll go with Boonen even though I don't think he's any where near his peak condition of a couple of years ago.

I'm going to go with Bro again and pick the rank outsider Carcellanca, or Callencara or whatever his name is.

I did okay for a beginner picking Pozzato and him for MSR.

The form man Cancellara is my main pick. Hincapie and Hushovd as outsiders.

1. Cancellara
2. Hincapie
3. Hushovd leading the bunch in.

Cyclingnews are saying the weather is going to be terrible. The worst conditions since Van Hooydonck won in 89, Excellent.

Boonen might be a bit distracted... the top cycling story at sporza.be at the moment is that Tom Boonen has got back together with his former girlfriend Lore ...
