First, have to get in the right frame of mind.
“It’s bollocks this race! You’re working like an animal—you don’t have time to piss! You wet your pants. You’re riding in mud like this, you’re slipping – it’s a piece of sh*t.”
“Will you ever ride it again?”
“Sure! It’s the most beautiful race in the world!”
CBS reporter John Tesh interviewing Dutch rider Theo De Rooij, 1985 (from INRNG)
I'm going with Spartacus, Sep, and
...Wiggo?

Big George!
Ok, so that's my fantasy. Sparticus is a good call.
Wiggo IMHO, isn't a player...this race is a showcase for big flatland pounders

van avermaet, or vanmarcke with luck
sagan if his teammates don't fall short and if he doesn't subject himself to sitting in the wind

Van Avermaet is angry. He'll be up there (I think/hope).
Cancellara for sure, and maybe wiggins? People seem to forget that TTs are his specialty, and he's not at grand tour weight right now.

WOW lots of good choices already listed.
Boonen, Cancellara, Vanmarcke -- in any order.
Kristoff is going well and Sagan might be hungry enough THIS time, Terpstra or Vandenbergh might succeed if Boonen falters - dark horse picks

As I said in this thread from earlier today (http://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=146870), Phinney.

I like it, we'll said.
I noticed on cycling news that tommeke is rolling 177.5 cranks; that has to be weird in the finale?
