I am hoping that the favourites (GT, Van Avermaet, Degenkolb and Boom) for this race that fell in the past week all can start without any lingering effects, so that we have a fair and beautiful battle.
(FYI, I am not mentioning Cancellara, Boonen or even EBH, since they are definitely out)

Just did a bit of google map searching and it's a stone throw and a spit from our hotel
Well... definitely out ??... Boonen is going to participate in the recon of PR
Personally can't see him starting though, even if he would be somewhat recovered, EQS have too many riders around that should be capable of riding much better than a barely recovered Boonen (without form or recent practice)

A bit disorganized...or in need of a leader figure ...that I would agree to
(and that could be the only reason for them to even consider Boonen... but I still don't see it happening
)Spineless? That's not really correct, they take their responsibility in all the races and have been present in all the winning moves/attacks of this years 1-day races
I think Ettix animate most of the races, to their credit. I don't think they need a father figure, (weird terminology); they need to decide which rider they're going to support maybe, either before or during the race, according to who is going best or has most chance.

To be fair, EQS do win a respectable number of races. It's just that when they lose, they do so spectacularly.
They've still won more than BMC so far this season though.

Indeed they are the most winningest team so far.

My immediate reaction is that must have been A Wednesday morning photo. Then I think about Dave's "innovative" mind, remember the Sky stripped toothpaste?, and now I'm doubting myself.
