Print9.3km and flat as flat can be. Who's got a chance? It's a tantalising one. Short enough for the prologue specialists and power riders, maybe too short for the usual TTers. I have no idea who's going to do well.
The usual suspect: Cancellara.
Good TTers: Evans, Grabsch, Pinotti, Gesink, Konovalovas, Machado, Larsson
Power riders: Hushovd, Boonen, Boom
A left field choice: Lancaster
I'll throw my hat in the ring with a highly unlikely top 5:
1. Cancellara
2. Boom
3. Lancaster
4. Evans
5. Grabsch

Cancellara
You don’t put all your faith in heart rate or power outputs, however; what’s happening in an athlete’s head is the most important thing. Aldo Sassi
It's short...don't forget Cav, even though Cance and Cuddles are my faves here.

You will not ask this question after MSR.
I hope!

When he comes 7th
After realising he’s lost the sprint and sitting up?

Ha! Now I know to whom he will direct his wining salute!
And I am afraid, it is not going to be pretty!

Hey, 7th is still worth 175 points in a Monument.
I’ll take it—especially since Haussler and GVA will be on the podium.

Agree with you on Haussler, how one could doesn’t like Barbie!

I am going with 3 Roboshacks in top 5.
Cancellara probably took it easy in the last two stages and he is ready to take this win. Larsson will be second.
Short and flat!
Watch out for Boom, Boom!

Cance seems a bit off the pace
Evans form, maybe a bit too hot.
I’ll go with Boom, Cance, Evans
There were a lot of fresh cowboys in the peloton and it was a nervous fuss. Tommeke
I go with
Boom, Pinotti, Evans
Sminer: I blame KARMA for everything.
Jens: I've heard it's a bitch
