Frantisek Rabon makes me look stupid for leaving him off my VDS team, wins Murcia ITT. Results:

Frantisek Rabon (Cze) Team Columbia, 19.17
Bert Grabsch (Ger) Team Columbia, at 0.19
Dennis Menchov (Rus) Rabobank, at 0.25

Meanwhile, Dreidaagse West Vlaanderen kicked off today in Kortrijk, with a lot of unfamiliar names... and a familiar one on the podium.

Johnny Hoogerland (Ned) Vacansoleil
Jens Mouris (Ned) Vacansoleil
Kevin Ista (Bel) Agritubel

All for today. More of both tomorrow, PLUS! Monte Paschi Eroica.

I contemplated Rabon for a while.

But I left him off my team too. So, you’re not the only one Chris.

Ha

I came pretty close to dropping him, but he stayed on in the end and looks like he’ll go well over the Majope line this week. Great preparation for a season likely to be spent Cav-sitting.

Here is my preview

Leenooos 2 ups his result of last year and wins, followed by Wegmann and Ciolek to round out the podium….I know, very realistic isn’t it.

I don't know if you knew this, CTV is run by Bernard Madoff

Vacansoleil

Another win! And taking two podium places at that. Cool!
The next 10 wins will be by Baden Cooke I hope.

Not a result but some race news

Rebellin’s team has been invited as the final wildcard to Amstel Gold, tis is good news, plus I’m curious to see what Ginanni can do in bigger classics.
