I know Lars Boom will be motivated to the max, like many others he dreams of one day winning P-R above anything else. He will be in the final probably, but I'm going to be very surprised if he actually gets in with a chance at the podium. So far it does not seem to be his year for having great spring form. Although he really wants to be a 'classics rider', the last couple of seasons he seemed to do much better in shortish stage races later in the year, like ToB, ToP etc.
