    I noticed that these races are now included in the ‘Coming Up’ list.

    Last year all the races included in the competition were World Tour events, and Kurne-Bruxelles-Kurne was not included.

    KBK is currently on this years list despite not being a WT event. Is this correct ?

    Will Driedaagse Brugge-De Panne be included? This is WT in 2019

    Thanks

    Long way to go yet.

    Long way to go yet.

    Last 50km are flat, Bora, Jumbo, Cofidis will all work to bring the front group back.

    I find it hard to believe that Quickstep are allowed to get away with being so disruptive to the chasing group. They effectivley blocked the road and slowed down around the final corner. Lampaert even had his arms out stopping people going around his outside.

    I imagine that will have been a poor race for most people.

    Hopefully the transfers I didn’t use will come in useful later.

    I went for a couple of sprinters too. Colbrelli is not looking good after crashing and Sky/QuickStep are obliterating the race. High winds and a little damp so probably not a sprint.

    5 in the top10 isn’t bad I suppose.

    Roelandts and Petit saving themselves for tomorrow, I hope.

    Vanmarcke is now on my don’t pick list.

    Who to bring in tomorrow?

    Quickstep no longer have a pure sprinter, so I expect they will make it a very tough race.

    Oh aye….a bit of a lottery to pick a winner though…a lot of great riders. 

     

    That’s what’s so good about these races.

    Oh yes.

    Just finished reading Bradley Wiggins “Icons” book….he waxes lyrical about the one day races throughout. Seems to be his favourite races as well.
