Or the 'Omloop Het Volk' as was...

It's the traditional Belgian season opener this weekend. A massive field. Not everyone there,but still a good one. Who d'ya fancy then?

There's Flecha, Boonen and Hammond, but I have a funny feeling about Norway this year - The Thunder God, Thor Hushovd, has said he feels good for the Spring Classics this year and I have an inkling about Columbia-Highroad's young Edvald Boasson Hagen... he's gonna be good and he may show in a couple of these early season races.

I think Thor might have a chance, but reckon Philippe Gilbert and Sylvain Chavanel are the riders to beat.

Thomas Voeckler seems to be in red-hot form so I will opt for him.

He's always great in France, but Voeckler doesn't seem to travel well, does he?

I have no idea. One of the things that always impresses me about the classics is that there are any number of riders capable of winning, and most of them I've never heard of!
