    Right, thoughts on the ‘big one’? Predictions? Please, just no more moaning about having more transfers.

    Yeah the Arenberg crashes
    Yeah the Arenberg crashes were in the break, but by the time the main pack came out of it, that was down to about 60 riders, Bonnen on his own with 35km to go, 46 second lead and growing, 4 sky riders chasing

    Soon as I said that… Boonen
    Soon as I said that… Boonen and Terpstra now on their own and are building a gap. Chasers need to sort it out quickly. 55k to go.

    Arenberg crashes were in the break, not main field, though that did get whittled down a lot as OPQS pushed on. Into last 60k and Boonen and Pozzato have just attacked… gonna be a crazy last hour and a bit, and they’ve been going at an insane pace. Ballan getting across too now, Turgot of Europcar with them. Chavanel puncture, he’s out of equation.

    I made a couple of changes last minute (now) just in from the pub, so i may regret them, I was going to have, so you can all slate me if these guys win

    Heinrich Haussler and Maxim Iglinsky instead of Pozzato and Tjallingii

    Just checked out the teams of the top 12 overall, did me, davidh and horner187 miss the memo to transfer in Thor Hushovd. Everybody else did.

    On the other hand the top 12 classic teams, less than half the teams transferred in Hushovd, far more transfered in Flecha.

    Popular star picks (ie almost all teams have Boonen, Pozzato & 2 of the other 3)
    Boonen
    Pozzato
    Ballan
    Hushovd
    Flecha

    A couple have Chavenel, one Degenkolb, one Boom and the unfortunate leader of Classic comp chrisgnewman transferred in Breschel yesterday.

    Vanmarcke
    Vansummeren
    Terpstra
    are also in most teams

    So for me to improve overall & in the classics comp I need Chavenel, Devolder, Rast & Paolini to perform well and Hushovd, Flecha & Terpstra not to perform
