Nearly all of the best are riding apart from Cancellara, Ballan and Haussler it seems.
Sagan could also be strong in this races in the future but concentrates on Milano San Remo this year ( Tour of Flanders after that but without really good preparation for this race, we'll see).
Sky with Flecha (last years winner) and Eddy (Boasson Hagen), a strong duo and Eddy in a really good condition in Oman
Katusha with their strongest lineup ever for the cobblestones races in my opinion, maybe not in the best condition yet for this race though, a pity Gusev still seems to have "problems"
Vacansoleil with Leukemans and Devolder will also be interesting later this season
Keukeleire could be a threat this year also in the big races if he does a "step forward"
From the german point of view it will be interesting how Kittel and Degenkolb will cope (Klier, Burghardt and Klemme also of course but they are already more experienced)
The rest, no big surprises. Boonen, Gilbert, Cervelo-Garmin, Rabobank etc.
Difficult to name a favourite.. someone knows what kind of weather there will be tomorrow?
