   Tweedaagse van Antwerpen is starting and that signals the beginning of a new season for real. This time twentyfour teams have signed up from the Top Divison. We will show some favourites for the diversity of stages in the various classifications.
  
  Hoogstraten Prologue
  
  With the timetrial or prologue in Hoogstraten we kick off the Tweedaagse van Antwerpen and we have a few teams how are keen on winning this first stage. Various teams have more than one good timetrial rider. And to make a top five of favourites; here they are: Rene Schimmel, Lech Wieckowski, Grayson Halliwell, Leonard Rybicki and Estebe pimental
  
  Hoogstraten - Arendonk
  
  The kingstage will see another leader in the General Classification and we will see the big cobblers battle it out in front. In Arendonk a small group will arrive or the riders will be scattered around and dripple in after a hard days work. The

big favourites of this stage are; Vilayvanh Vannaseng, Gale Reason, Thibaut Camus , Otto Noddebo and Mick Cremens
  
  Arendonk – Geel
  
  Third stage is again for the cobbler while we move to Geel. The tour is not decided yet and we can see a different leader after this stage or there will be a consilidation in the top. Is there a surprise winner, the favourites are again those mentioned in the second stage. But let us give the following riders a chance too, Nick van Duin, Qi Yiqun, Torstein Hoyland, Lionel Durand and Timo Canseco.
  
  Geel - Antwerpen
  
  The last stage, not much can be decided anymore. Or is it that close that everything can change. In a cobble tour one can never know and be sure if he really has won it already. The sprinters have a chance to win it too and they will come forward in the end. A list of favourites for this stage looks like this, Gale Reason, Adrian Dudziak, Mick Cremens, Rodolfo Gomez.
  
  

To give some betting advice;
  
  My top three for the General Classification look like this: Otto Noddebo, Nick van Duin and Rodolfo Gomez.
  
  And the Youth Classification will give us these riders on top: Timo Canesco, Lionel Durand and Markus Schweitzer

  Batieno will win the prologue and after that I'll take all 3 cobble stages on BA :))

  Last season you were right, expecting another win by Zubi. This season, it seems like you forgot about him! (he was signed up late and last, I know...)
