Who is your pick for victory at Paris-Roubaix?
Cancellara is out.
Boonen has already won 4 races this season and is looking strong.
Last year's winner, Johan van Summeren, finished over 1 minute back in Flanders.
Pozzato and Ballan, the 2nd and 3rd place finishers in Flanders, were both in the top-10 in Milano-San Remo this year. Ballan finished 6th last year in Paris-Roubaix.
Following not far behind them in Flanders were Greg van Avermaet, Niki Terpstra, Sylvain Chavanel, and Juan-Antonio Flecha, who have all had good results so far this season.
Philippe Gilbert looks like he is holding back, maybe waiting for his home races in Wallonia. However the guy is one hell of a racer and I wouldn't count him out.
The weather forecast is looking like rain on Saturday, so it might still be a little sloppy on Sunday.
So far, Boonen seems to be on-form and might be the safe bet.
Who's your pick? Predictions?
