Eneco Tour stage 5

A chaotic final sprint as predicted but the main contenders got through so no sprint surprises. The next stage is the first of three GC deciding days as cobbled hills are the order of the day.

In previous years this finish on the Geraardsbergen wall has been the finale of the race and was won by Stybar last year from Stannard, and Ballan from Boom in 2012.

Doubt there will be any surprises in this stage and the winner should come from the following;

Terpstra, Boom, Vanmarcke, Vanendert, Wellens, Gilbert, Quinziato, GVA, Cancellara, Marcato, Thomas, Langeveld, Keukeleire.

I like Keukeleire most here, he loves a cobble and I regularly back him on such terrain, Vanmarcke has looked super strong but got hit hard by a flying bike today so I don't think he can be backed with confidence. I would prefer Quinziato over the other two BMC riders as he's previously done well here and has looked in great shape.

Keukeleire 0.75pts ew 50/1 PP
Quinziato 0.4pts ew 50/1 PP
Dillier 0.1pts ew 500/1 PP (I had to take this because Dillier is a rider who one day will win me a lot).
