    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

    Just looking at the Roubaix

    Just looking at the Roubaix line up. Does anybody else think it looks a bit thin on major riders this time?

    I didn’t see him crash but saw him getting dropped off the back of a group.

    I also read the article on Cycling News saying how his team was worried by what happened yesterday. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/kittels-poor-form-makes-no-sense-says-demol/

    Aye…good article. Something quite wrong about him right now. I wrote a few weeks ago how I had seen him sitting up a few times at very odd moments. Seems like if he can’t win he totally gives up looking for a place. Poor attitude to have when your team works to get you in a position to do your best.

    Kittel ssurvived the echelons got back in the main group and then GOT DROPPED ON THE FLAT !!!

    Looks like he decided to take early retirement, probably has enough money in the bank to have a decent lifestyle and do a bit of modelling.

    Is he? Damn, he’s still in PCS and the deadline has passed. Hopefully not too many are affected.

    I only have Jakobsen, Ackermann, Kittel, and Hofstetter. Saving transfers for later.

    I saw it on Cycling Fever and then checked the team’s twitter feed.  Announced this morning.

    Luckily I switched him out of my ‘draft’ team and didn’t waste a transfer.

    It’s not 8 per race. It averages out at just over 5. I’m in the same boat, I’ve been a bit liberal so I’m saving some back for the Ardennes.

    Clean start for me tomorrow.

    Clean start for me tomorrow.

    8 new sprinters in.

    Which means it will probably be echelons and all the sprinters dropped.

    Must be something more than concussion. His team declared him out of Roubaix before today’s race had even finished.
