I think that Boonen is great, but that is one weak sprinting field in Paris-Nice this year. Check out the top 10 and you'll see what I mean. Most of the good sprinters are doing Tirreno-Adriatico this year. Pettachi has shown that he is a stronger sprinter than Boonen this year. I think that Boonen will rule P-R this year but the other Classics will be tougher for him. I don't think that he will ride away in Flanders like he did last year. It will be very exciting to see if he can.

"With the exception of Tom Boonen, who has once again chosen to race Paris-Nice, the world's top sprinters will be honing their form in the Italian stage race Tirreno-Adriatico, that starts on Wednesday, March 7. Three-time world champion and last year's winner, Oscar Freire, will front up in the Rabobank colours; Italian sprinting stallion Alessandro Petacchi will be there for Team Milram; and a somewhat bruised Robbie McEwen will be back in amongst it for Davitamon-Lotto.

Apart from these three fast finishers, the 200 rider field is also bristling with other talent: Quick.Step's Paolo Bettini and Filippo Pozzato, winners in 2004 and 2003; Milan-Turin winner and ex-world champion Igor Astarloa (Barloworld); last year's ProTour winner Danilo Di Luca and Liquigas-Bianchi teammate Franco Pellizotti; CSC's Tour star Ivan Basso and Stuart O'Grady; Andreas Klöden (T-Mobile); Gerolsteiner's Davide Rebellin; Credit Agricole sprinters Thor Hushovd and Jaan Kirsipuu; Discovery Channel's George Hincapie, Leif Hoste and Paolo Savoldelli; Bernhard Eisel (Française Des Jeux); Alessandro Ballan (Lampre-Fondital); and Liberty Seguros' Jörg Jaksche..."

It's still a win and Davis is no Punk.

....And....

The other Big Sprinters are in T-A (heh-heh) cause they are:

Afraid of the cold!
Afraid of the Tom! :D


Superman wears Tom Boonen pajamas.

When you open a can of whoop-***, Tom Boonen jumps out.

Superman's only weakness is Kryptonite. Tom Boonen laughs at Superman for having a weakness. :beer:

When the roads start going up and down, Samuel Sanchez is going to serve notice and give a much needed win to Euskaltel. Julich is not going to play dead either, though...

I can't wait to see what the "all rounders" do on the hills... We have sereval Cat 1 climbs ahead. Last time I checked, Floyd and Bobbby could climb better than Tommy AND I think Stage 6 will or could shake the legs out of any sprinter....

But hey, Tom B. is a CAMPY rider, soooo more power to him!

I agree a win is a win.

I just hope that Floyd does not blow up now. I think if he continues at this pace, he will either get fried before the Tour or he will get busted for doping.

Go Floyd!
