Run from Antwerp to Schoten, this sprinter's classic has beome the Marcel Kittel benefit with the big German winning the last three and he'll surely be a big favourite for this one. 200km long, with several cobbled sections but hardly any climbing, the wind is probably the best chance of this not ending in a bunch sprint.

PP offered 7/1 Kristoff for all of yesterday, presumably thinking that this would be a recovery ride for him. Either that or they didn't realise Kittel is out due to a virus.

Congratulations MC, landed a lovely price there mate!
That Edward Theuns is really coming along in leaps-and-bounds, another one of the young Belgians that really continues to impress.
Cheers, SP
