Classic season!
Tomorrow marks the start of the classic season and I'm pretty excited.
Usually I suck in the classics and fall way behind in the overall but I'm taking it seriously this year. Up until now I've felt a bit like Sky during the classics, lots of potential, no results, so its about time I made an break through.
What are you all looking forward to and who do you see excelling?
I'm quite looking forward to seeing how Milan-San Remo goes this year and how much of a shot Cav gets. Obviously Sagan will be up there for everything but can he win anything? And what about EBH? I also see Blanco making some waves, they've been great since losing Rabobank and have a strong lineup with Boom, Vanmarcke and the likes of Nordhaug for the Ardennes. I'm also concerned for Boonen, how's his form after the operation? I need him firing on all cylinders for my 'fantasy DS challenge' team.

Strange comment. Many bikes today look similar, the new Addict and the Aethos definitely don't. (eg dropped versus traditional seatstays).

Nordhaug and Flecha are 2 of my fav riders so i hope both do well although Flecha maybe just the wrong side of 35 now to claim that elusive victory in one of the big classics.
It's also time for G to step upto the mark and prove he has the credentials as a top classics rider with victory in one of the races.
You can never discount spartacus but like Flecha he may just be to old.
Boonen, Gilbert, J-Rod are the usual suspects but i can see one of the younger Blanco / OPQS riders coming to the fore like Slagter.
Its looking like a good season though with no one a clear fav
