Flanders pick

Booger D

Excellent choice. He will lose in the sprint though.

You make the picks. I'll keep the score - for free - and we'll all have a great time. Put your picks on the line and see who really knows something around here.

What about a Rabobank man (besides Freire) who can sprint, Steven De Jongh? Or was the E3 Prijs
Vlaanderen win just a lucky long breakaway?

What a nightmare!

you know i would if i had anything good to report. for some reason my rl has been more stressful
than normal lately, so all i've had are those stupid anxiety dreams (like- you realize that you
forgot to go to one of your classes in college, and today is the final exam...)

but i like that others are making their own rbr dream reports, heather

MrBookmaker reflects the bias from Belgian fans, over-optimistic on the locals.

Considering Museeuw' s state, Bortolami should be favorite, followed by Baldato. The fact that QS
wont make the race, increases the chances of Baldato , and Freire (if Wauters stays around as
guardian angel).

Van Petegem has been spotted at the local McDonalds too often lately.

BTW my pick is Baldato.

I guess everyone has that school dream. I have several. ONe of them is that It's the end of the year
and for some reason, I never got a schedule so all along I've been going to classes without one,
never knowing when they are and having to just figure it out. Or that it's the end of the year and
I've missed one course all year, it's like I forgot all about it.

I guess everyone has dreams about anxiety and failure!

Incidentally, did you all know that teeth are the most common symbol in dreams?

So you're riding then?

Museeuw. I don't think he's bluffing, but I'm picking him anyway.

Wesemann will not break a cleat until the Kapelmuur.

I'm going to pick Guido T.

I don't understand why PVP is killing himself in pro races when he could be winning masters
races easily.

Here's my top 4 pick (posted roughly an hour before the start, thus guaranteed to be wrong):

1 Paolo Bettini (Ita) Quick.Step-Davitamon 6.04.17 2 Gianluca Bortolami (Ita) Sidermec 3 Peter Van
Petegem (Bel) Lotto-Domo 4 Michael Boogerd (Ned) Rabobank

cheers, Jeff

I'm not predicting,but wouldn't it just be bizarre if he won? The guy does have something to
prove, so you never know....

oh my lord, it almost happened. but henry's fattie karma was too strong, lol..

Well you were spot on with the "wrong" part. :-)
