Ehm, maybe Terpstra, but certainly not Stybar.
Terpstra is pretty good in the sprint. Got 3rd from a small group in Roubaix last year. Stybar is one of the quickest cobblers. If he didnt get taken out by a fan last year I'm still confident he would've won Roubaix last year, but we will never know.
Either way Vandenbergh is really really slow in the sprint.

Well, you dont have to teach me about Stybar, i even cant count in how many races i saw him in person on my own eyes (both on and off the road), so i know how fast he is. I support him maybe more than Sagan.
And i agree about Roubaix, cant wait for this year, i hope OPQS will get rid of Boonen soon.
And Terpstra is not bad too, that is true, but nowhere near Stybar, GVA or Cance.

Erhm I'm not trying to teach anyone, I'm just expressing my own opinion. OPQS getting rid of Boonen would be just the stupidest move ever. He might not be in form this year but he is a cycling legend, probably the biggest sporting star in Belgium. I just hope that Stybar and Terpstra get more freedom for Roubaix if Tom won't be feeling 100%.

I am pretty sure Cancellara can win this.
I'd be very surprised.
I vote Terpstra or Vanmarcke
Your Cancellara predictions haven't been the best lately isso

Nevertheless, Terpstra should've followed Cance and Vanmarcke.
The rest of the peloton should have done that as well if they wanted to win, but should isn't always could...
About Cancellara and his sprint: even before the 2011 Worlds he pulled some great results, in the 2011 Champs Elysee stage he was 5th in the sprint. Some of the times in which he was beaten in the end of races (like Gerrans in MSR) is more likely explained by the fact that usually in these cases the other riders just wheelsucked all the way to the finish; if you don't have the energy having the speed won't change much.
That was some great racing. Much better than the last two years; looking forward to Roubaix!
but still works this year
