Scheldeprijs Vlaanderen tips (may contain spoliers)
No Cavendish, probably no Boonen. My tip is McEwen in front of Petacchi. I also tip there will be four or more Australians in the top 10.

I'll take Boonen.
QS will drive at every crosswind, wittle down the peloton, then lead out Boonen with a 5 man train and only 15 left up front.
Leave the 2009 Cobbled Classics season with a cherry on top.

I' following the cyclingnews.com ticker, as none of the live video feeds are working
Yes, I see Louder has made the break. He has many fans over there and this will be exciting for them.

CTV commentators are saying Pettachi took out McEwen's wheel.

I'm always so disappointed when Pettachi wins, he's better at punching buses.
Good thing most of those guys who crashed get to spend the next few weeks on the beach.

Pettachi had nothing to do with that crash. He was clean and clear.
The road bends slightly left and McEwen tried to shoot between Rollin and Van Avermaet, but when it closed, VanA basically collided with Robbie after touching Ale's wheel and lost balance.
Sprinting is all balls, with the brain shut down. I can't see why the hell I ever do stuff like that.
