<p>Milan-San Remo 2011 and Ghent-Wevelgem 2010 winners, Matt Goss and Bernie Eisel are set to lead HTC-Highroad in the Tour of Flanders on Sunday.</p><p>
</p><p>
¨They were both sick last week, but they've not done any racing so they have both had time to make a full recovery,¨ says HTC-Highroad sports director Brian Holm.</p><p>
</p><p>
¨Both of them are very clever racers, they´re both good at getting in breakaways and reading the moves, rather than waiting for too long, and that's definitely going to be the best tactic in Flanders this year. And, of course, they´re both fast finishers.¨</p><p>
</p><p>
¨Matt´s already beaten the biggest favorites this year at San Remo, so we know he's in good shape, and Bernie´s always super motivated for the Classics.¨</p><p>
</p><p>
¨He already checked out the 2011 Flanders route this week with Mark Cavendish, Gatis Smukulis and Martin Velits, even though it's not so different from last year. He'll be ready for Sunday.¨</p>
