Spring Classics 2014

Boonen or an outsider Geraint Thomas

[N'Rexy]

Sep Vanmarcke will be good at Flanders. Cancellara,Boonen, Sagan may well mark each other to death. Brad will get off at the first feed.

And loads of crashes. Apparently lots of riders are on tramadol at the moment and it's making them dopey...

John, I have done the Roubaix. Good luck. Its effing horrible.

Roubaix and LBL are my faves. I'll be at them both this year.

Aside from the obvious 2, Stybar at 25/1 (!)  Terpstra and Rolands for today

[N'Rexy]

Terpstra will have to work for Boonen but will be a good shout if Boonen isn't in contention. Crashes galore already. Van Summerens crash looked really nasty. First go up the Kwaremont now.

[Jon Crofts]

Ouch!  3 into a lamppost.

[SteveN]

Spartacus wins!

[Jon Crofts]

Great finish, 4 very able athletes at the front and then boom, up steps Spartacus and blows them all away from 200 odd metres out.

Wiggins finished as well.

[SteveN]

Tremendous performance by Lizzie Armistead to finish second yesterday.

[N'Rexy]

Great ride from Fab. Wiggins surprised me! Armitsted leads the world points in the women. Roubaix next week! Going to be immense.

Good luck with the ride John.

[Jon Crofts]

Thanks, getting a niggly right knee just when I don't need it, changed shoes recently I think the cleats are out on the pair I wore yesterday and have put a strain on my ligaments, hopefully a days rest tomorrow will help.

Cancellara?

Thank you very much.

[Eckybloke]

How's the knee Jon?

All psyched up?  I have found a local cobbled segment on Strava titled "Hell of the North".  0.2 mile 6% gradient, can't be easier than what you're putting yourself through!



Best of luck!

[N'Rexy]

Wiggo is at long odds for this. If he makes the selection at 70-50k out he isn't a crazy bet. He is the best time trialist there and has 2 top lads to ride for him in Thomas and Boasen-Hagen. Cancellara will be marked to death and Boonen isn't properly fit. I has 20 quid and 25-1 on him just now.

[Percy Flage]

Other than Belgians or Swiss I'll say Stybar (again) he was there last year before being fetched off, proving that 'anything' can happen, and only came unstuck on the climbs last week.

Kristoff has the power to drive over the cobbles and has shown he's strong over distance and can kick.....

[Jon Crofts]

I feel like I've been beaten up by a gang of yobbos.  Never again.
