I think they know the roads pretty well already and apparently the weather was awful - more likely a precaution to avoid a needless spill onto the cobbles the day before the classics start.
Can't believe Eurosport aren't showing this. What is my £3.99 a month for?
Hard to pick this year - the only real form riders have been the sprinters and I can't see Kristoff being allowed to stay with the front group.
I'll go with Van Avermaet or Stybar if its horribly wet.
A guy on Bikeradar said he'd ridden the last 70km and the cobbled sections were in a right old mess.
