So who's going to win tonight ? Apparently there's rain possibly should make things interesting

Do we have any idea when it might finish? It is going to be a cycling marathon today!

My plans to race tomorrow morning might be fanciful.

My supercalifragilisticexpialidocious smokey, Hincapie. Surely he is due some luck?

My smokey is Larsson. He has been going ok lately.

My pick for who is going to tear the race a new one on the cobbles is Vanmarcke.

Would have loved to see Spartacus do this one, but a collarbone with four cracks in it is a pretty good excuse.

Go Stuey ... turn back time!

Tom... Another double would be nice!.
Was going to race 3 days this weekend for a bit of practice getting ready for stage racing... But today's is cancelled so the couch it is!.
My young fella wants to go and watch it in person but it is a little but far... Maybe next year!.

A little bit cheeky putting O'Grady in there Richard given his age, form and lack of team strength (he's a special now ) I just hope it's not as predictable as TOF after Cancellara went down.

I almost didn't , but i wanted to add a Greenedge rider and seeing as his the most likely to be sent up the road, the weather maybe being a factor and the race maybe end in a stalemate with the favorites i figured it was a possibility.

Just as well it's a BH tomorrow, as for the winner, that's up to the Cobblestone Gods

On Telly in 5 minutes but I will have to wait till after lunch .
Edit: all my French girls have put the Telly on for me... Ain't that nice !.

I miss Fabian

I still have a small hope he will pop up in the chasing bunch, bouncing over the cobbles on the new Trek Domane Medical Bed prototype.

!! BAN ME NOW FOR SWEARING !! that hurt!

That looked really bad.

Not too many cobble proof bottle holders. Brutal

Wish the lads would stop talking in miles....

Didn't list Ballan... I have gone for Flecha.

These two have made a break at 75k in a group of 6 to catch the front group.

OUCH... That was bloody thor

La classe!

Surely he can't hold them off for 50k!?!?!?!

I think he will he looks strong and the Sky team and chasing group aren't working well at all

Yeah the chase group look like they are all riding on their own, and Tom is slotted in the middle of a train! He's paranormal.

I wanna go for a ride

Not sure what Sky are doing...almost like they are letting Boonen hang out there??

Are the cobbles usually this dry?
