The race is such a crapshoot. I'd say Thor but he really hasn't been that good
so far this year. I think Boonen was aiming for the win but the crash in Flanders
my have done enough damage to prevent it. Hard to tell. So I'll say Roger Hammond.

More candyass. I actually typed O'Grady, then said, "no, that can't be
right. He fades at the end of the long ones" and chose Boonen instead.
I must have jinxed Tom since I was 6th at Boulder-Roubaix yesterday.
At least I had a teammate win. Also in third. Fourth too.

Before I posted, I briefly considered O'Grady too, mostly due to the string of
good finishes he's had this season. But I didn't count on him carrying that good
form through to this one. At least Hammond managed a top ten again. I wonder if he
used too much up in G-W on Weds.

To be a total candyass here. My heart said that maybe Wesseman had one
more really good go in him. My head said NFW, so I didn't put it up.
I would've said:
Boonen
Wesseman
Divolder

Good call except for the reasons given.

Good call. I had him for Flanders. Oops, little too early. He was really strong
after he got away. Nice to see Boonen make it up to the first chase group and get a
6th out of it.

If Boonen's wrist gives him trouble, then I'll pick Hoste.
