    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

    That’s what happened when

    That’s what happened when Kwiato won. He worked well with Ala and Sagan that led to a ridicuous sprint at the end. It’s all a question of whether the guys who break away on the Cipressa or the Poggio work well together. I can think of a few people who might have a go, but I’m not brave enough to stick my fantasy team on it. There should be a sprint behind that I’ll be backing, and if they catch the breakaway then good for me.

    With the look of the teams

    With the look of the teams this year I think it is almost certain a group of ‘climbers’ get away.

    It will then depend whether they can work together to stay away and whether the chasing group can work together to catch them.

    QSP say they’re joint leaders
    QSP say they’re joint leaders but might use Stybar as a foil and gilbert might go long. That probably means Lampaert!
    I’d usually go with the home rider but I’ve got alaphillpe and stybar Ieft in from Strade Bianchi so they’ll have to do.

    A lot of teams coming in double headed to this one though. Sagan or Bennett, Groenewegen or Poppel (or van aert) Kristoff or Gaviria. etc. I think I’ll resort to eeny meeny miny mo?

    I don’t remember any Hodkinson from Barton but we moved to Fulwood in the early 1970s.

    I used to hang about near the Plough Inn in Penwortham during my teens, and my grandparents lived on Hill Road.

    Plough is my local…and I live pretty much next to Hill road. I do all my cycling on Farrington moss. Ask me any question you like about wind.

    Only bike shop I remember in Preston was Mears in the 1970s. I think I got my purple Raleigh Chopper there.

    I used to live in Barton and

    I used to live in Barton and go to school in Lancaster. My dad’s still in Preston, lives in Fulwood. I’ve been round the Guild Wheel route a few times.

    Didn’t have Ala for today, or Fuglsang. Had a load of the rest of the top 10 though.

    Mid table mediocrity in the championship is a funny thing…you can be just below the plays offs one month and just above relegation the next and done nothing different whatsoever…all much of a muchness and all in need of the 30 million quid. Danny Graham is Blackburn’s problem…well past his sell by date, that’d cost 20-30 mill on it’s own to put right.

    As you may have guessed I’m from Preston originally but now living on the wrong side of the Pennines.

    What amazes me with Preston is no-one knows anything about Hugh Carthy.

     

    …also…i went for a tour around Ribble cycles last week on Walton Summit…dear god…fantastic…come a long way since Fylde road…

    Yes I was. Strange game. Blackburn by far the better side apart from finishing whilst PNE played a “rolling on the floor” game and looked just rubbish…

    #teamslikepreston 🙂

    Aye. Blackburn have a nice base of some good football to build on. PNE not so much…well not on that showing.

    I know which side is challenging for the playoffs, despite being bottom of the table in late September.

    Very young side too.

    The problem is finding the extra £30million a year needed to escape this league.
