apparently he's picked up a saddle sore infection / injury and will be out till Amstel Gold / L-B-L where he hopes to ride for Boogerd..... read into that what you will

Are you sure that wasn't last year - he had surgery on it.
Here's teh full start list

Dependent on the above you might want to add Oscar and Allesandro Ballan to the poll - he's flying. |

| Dave is right with his Rabo point. Freire is amazing, and head to head on his day there's no one he can't beat, BUT Nuyens will have a big team advantage. We're sticking with Nuyens, aren't we Dave?....Dave? |

I still fancy Nuyens, he's the kind of name
that pops up in results, when the focus
is on the favourites. Like Astarloa when
he won the world's. Or Wesseman in
Flanders a couple of years ago.
What the hell do I know!? |

Boonen. Unless he allows some upstart from his team to win

Boonen is the "groote favorite" I can't see him "allowing" another team mate the win. He's been glass cranking all week - cruising whilst the Eisels of this world are running themselves into the ground.
What price at the bookies for another double? |

Media reports suggest that Boonen's ill. He denies this.
Probably just a smokescreen by Quickstep to deflect a bit of the attention.
