The more I see racing on this circuit the more I think it suits puncheurs with a sprint. That final 5 km is very hard to control and positioning is critical. If the likes of Gilbert, Terpstra, Van Avermaet and Sagan hit out hard then it'll stay strung out all the way to the finish.

A really hard one to call.

Whar about Kristoff? He won Flanders this year. Maybe same problem of team strength

I think he'll need someone to sacrifice themselves on that final climb before the finish to keep him in contention. That's a big ask of a national team mate, and realistically, only EBH has the legs to be there, so will he give up his own ambitions for Kristoff?
