Nah, looks like Frigo & Co. are going to blow the peloton apart. I predict this will split the
field, then there will be a regrouping of mostly top riders and super-domestiques around lap 17
or 18, then a final attack with a small group of 3-4 going across the line within seconds of
each other.
Hoping Boonen can get himself a podium spot, authough the course isn't exactly ideally suited to his
strengths.

Van Petegem was of the opinion that it would come down to a mass sprint finish. Time and laps
will tell.

Steve Bauer just came on.
He doesn't think it will be a mass sprint.
And let's face it, Steve knows. He's a master tactician.
Witness him putting the boots to Criquelion in Ronsse in 1988 so that Fondriest could sneak by
for the win.

Dumbass -
Ya you were wrong, because the peloton is not likely to blow itself apart with 115 km to go.

Don't forget him losing to Eddy Planckaert in Paris-Roubaix by 1 millimeter when Eddy threw his bike
and he didn't. Or letting Alexi Grewal sit on for 5 miles before the finish at the 1984 Olympics.
Finally there's the 60 degree seat tube angle.
Bauer clearly is the smartest rider ever.

Too much coffee this morning.
Such a shame there is no televized coverage. I expected better from OLN after their great TdF
showing and decent Vuelta coverage.
