Stage 3 Pick

Edit: I wrote this post last night and it looked like it posted but when I checked on Tuesday afternoon, it wasn't showing up.

My post on the Stage 2 Pick was a bit prophetic. Should've stuck to my guns. Steegmans is impressive . . . remember that stage in the Tour of Qatar when he basically had to soft pedal the last 50m to allow Boonen to come around him?

Who: Tom Boonen
Why: It's a long stage, the longest of the Tour. After 239.5km and in the north of France, Boonen will feel just like he did at E3 Prijs and Dwars door Vlaanderen . . . good. It's basically a semi-classic and that is right up his alley.
