The Aeon is a great helmet but can look huge on some people. It doesn't sit "flush" like the Atmos.

Cavendish, IIRC, has even won the odd ITT - albeit of a short nature. But then, most *good* sprinters can usually put in a good TT... IF it suits them.

Kristoff.
Ding ding ding! Good call, definite dark horse chance. I'd put Bozic in there too, though I think he smells a bit...

Stijn Vandenburgh has massively impressed me this spring. I think if quickstep send him up the road and he gets some dangerous companions, he could ride away from a weak RadioShack and Cannondale squad. He hasn't shown explosiveness but he has shown a lot of brute strength.
I think quickstep play him early, Chava w about 50kms to go, and the hope the last chance is a 15-20 rider sprint where Boonen can win.

Understandable when you see their power profile from the last five minutes or so of a race! They really have to work to even get into position to sprint.

Meanwhile in Flanders... looks like new classics Bianchi for Flecha and Vacansoleil-DCM:
Last year the team used three frames for cobbled classics: oltre, infinito and alu impulso

Last I'm going to say anything in this subject but age is not an excuse for misogyny. There are never any excuses for it. Only reasons behind them.
