Gent-Wevelgem... LIVE!

Gentwev-live_medium

Second of three major classics this week, Gent-Wevelgem may also be the most dangerous race in Cycling. Today won't be overly kind if the weather is as promised. No, not kind at all. But very interesting. Enjoy!

Echolons!

Ticker

Door het slechte weer en vooral de strakke wind, worden er waaiers gevormd en scheurt het peloton. Een groep van een man of 30 scheurt zich af. Daarbij Tom Boonen, Heinrich Haussler, Marcus Burghardt, Manuel Quinziato en Fabian Cancellara. Ook Rabobank is vooraan goed vertegenwoordigd.

Peloton indeed

You’ve got to love the word. I explained what it meant to my 3 year old kid the other day when we saw the Ronde van het Groene Hart come through our home town.

A few days later he told his mother that when he, his parents and his little brother would get on a bike they would be a peloton. My heart swelled with pride! ;-)

Well he was on the provisional start list

But did the Sporza guys just say he DNS? Because they were waxing about how beautiful it was that he finished his last race as DFL, namely the Ronde.

If by that you mean

it’s driving you crazy with the constant stopping and buffering, then me too. My hopes are pinned on justin.tv, which should go live in 6 minutes.

Got dropped from the lead group

Boonen (flat), Cancellara (flat), Haussler (fall), Brown (fall). Too bad! What a race.

natural break

I’m proud to be a biker, ain’t ya’ll? Did you see the last rider? He waited till the breakaway group got to town, then he whipped it out so he could have an audience. Ahh.

Impressive for a young-un, and the announcers really, really like saying his name. I think they’re adopting him as French.

It’s my cartography and GIS class, not always the most interesting subject matter. Anyways, I’m feeling really sentimental for Robbie, would love to see him get a big win at Katusha despite the hideous kits and that he isn’t on my VDS Team.

Going hard on Kemmelberg the first time and then drop from the front group is not an acceptable behaviour if your on Team Atala.

A frozen 'cross ride from this last weekend. As you may be aware we have had siberian conditions here in the UK with a low of -14 degrees centigrade here on saturday morning. It was a beautiful sunny morning so i layered up and set off for a snowy 'cross ride along a roman road. I checked the thermometer when i got back to find it had been -10 throughout the ride! I had a lot of fun though and the views were spectacular.
