Tour of Flanders Geraint Thomas Among The Favourites

The race is one of the most challenging events on the professional calendar and this year looks more open than ever after defending champion Fabian Cancellara and fellow three-time winner Tom Boonen were both ruled out through injury.
Thomas is heavily fancied to triumph following his win at E3 Harelbeke last week but is set to face stiff competition from a multitude of rivals also looking to capitilise on Cancellara and Boonen's absence.
