Also, who here wants to do a season-long pick'em series going from Het Nieuwsblad to Liege like we have done for 2015 and 2016? I need at least ten other participants before i'd organize it like I did previous years.
My personal picks:
Podium: Sagan, GvA, Vanmarcke
Wildcards: Benoot and Boonen
Holy Crap, I want your crystal ball!
Nice call
thanks :) still havent called a winner since 2015 Liege, I think

Amazing trio, not only held onto the lead, but stretched it! With a very tough chase group bearing down.
No tactics to analyze, GVA had the best legs. Game over.
Obviously most guys are coming off large training blocks (Sagan three weeks in the mountains) so not too much to glean. Sort of tacky to attack after the crash with 62 k's left. If Sagan can pull that much and still hang at the end after a huge training block he is going to be dangerous in a few weeks. You can always tell when guys have a lot of training fatigue, they just have no pop in their sprint. My guess is Sagan was truly using this as a training race, he was taking some massive pulls for no real reason. Even in the last few k's there was no reason to pull, the gap was close to a minute.
Agreed. Sagan did a lot of work initially before everyone else contributed at 40k to go

Well shit... I spaced out on this. I now have 2 kids and we were in Florida all week.
This is "kollac" speaking btw.
Just watching the replay. At least slugging back Belgian beers at 9pm is OK vs. doing the same before lunch:D
no worries, as it looks like we won't be having one this year due to low participation (8 ppl so far submitted picks). I guess it'll be s*** and giggle calls for the other races
I'm going Kristoff, Demare Sagan for KBK
Boonen and Moscon outsiders
