Anyone follow the Spring Classics? Outside of the Tour, this is probably my favorite time of year for international races. Even though Paris-Nice is technically considered a spring classic (I don't know, maybe it isn't), the one day races are where the real excitement comes for me.
This Sunday is Milan - San Remo. Unfortunately, they had some severe weather recently that caused a bunch of road damage so they've decided to eliminate the Pompeiana climb, which has tended to keep MSR from being a pure sprinter's race. (But I guess there's always the Poggio to inflict some last minute damage.) Looks like Valvarde just dropped out earlier today for this reason. Also I'm just seeing the Tom Boonen pulled out a couple of days ago due to his girl friend having a miscarriage.
As far as TV coverage here in the states, it doesn't look like we have to wait until Paris-Roubaix to watch anything on tv. There's always cyclingfans, but it has tended to be hit or miss for me in the past.

My prediction: Andre Greipel
But I'll be cheering for Fabian.
