Like Will, I think Kwiatowski/Cav would be great.

Think it'll probably be Kristoff.

Degenkolb.

Not

because then he would start alcohol before the finish of Paris Roubaix.

Correct summary of Wiggins abilities, my concern is that Stannard will have to stay with Wiggins then waste his power dragging him up to a select group; or Stannard will get into a select group and not be allowed to work by Sky, causing failure of said group....

Let's not forget that sprint Wiggins won in...Tour of Romandie was it? I think Sky will simply play it by ear, have several leaders on the road and see who has the legs and luck to be at the sharp end of the race.

Sonny Colbrelli.

(but probably Kristoff)

That's a cracking shout.

Even if you can, you shouldn't.

That dose of the squitters really hit him hard didn't it?

And he's back on Nike shoes

Heart = Cav.
Head = Kristoff.
Money = Sagan.
History (by which we mean likelihood of podium) = Fabs.
= why we love Classics

L'Equipe have given Kristoff 5 stars, yet Cavendish only gets one. Do they know something we don't?

I think Kristoff will be hard to beat but if it does come down to a sprint then Cavendish would likely be his closest challenger.

In fairness, it's no secret he's been ill.

Agree he's worth more than one star though.

Reading on Twitter they only gave him 1 star in 09 too...

I think he'll be delighted if people think he has little chance. Maybe he paid them to do it. Being the obvious favourite has never done Sagan any favours.

I don't think the riders will really give a fuck to be honest.

Pretty sure the peloton has a better idea of form than fat French hacks.

Anyone who gets an inch in this race will have to earn it.

Looking forward to this, although I certainly CBA to sit there and watch the whole lot. Will have it on in the background then settle in with a brew for the last 50km or so when it should liven up.

Kinda hoping a random puncheur gets it like Stybar

Looks like it's ether Cav or Fab's day today...

I see your puncheur and raise you a finisseur.

I am excite

I don't care who wins as long as they style it when they cross the line

Would like to see Fabs clinch one more before he starts modelling for Davidoff Cool Water full time. If not him then maybe Sagan.

Or...
