I agree with Tom Boonen regarding Kristoff. If someone attacks on the Oude Kwaremont he'll have a tough time following, and if he can hang on than nobody will want to ride with him and attacks will happen immediately on the road to the Patersberg. He wasn't in the front in E3 and also not in G-W, yes he got some easy wins at the 3-days of De Panne but that's a stage race without most of the Flanders contenders. Meaning, he's overrated for Flanders.Totally agree, was saying this to a friend last night. The way I see it:
Thomas is the favorite, he will be too heavily marked. No one will ride with Kristoff and he won't be able to cover 10000 attacks solo. Sep won't win (gut feeling). Sagan won't win (duh). This leaves Stybar who I think will be the best sprinter who the others won't focus on trying to drop before the final. He might even be better off if his teammate Terpstra is NOT in the final group.
All this negative racing talk also MIGHT just lend itself to a larger group coming to the line, bringing Degencolb (sp?) back into the mix as possibly a guy who could take out Kristoff at the line if it stays compact… CANT WAIT FOR RACING
1) Stybar
2) Thomas
3) Sep
