Kevin Pauwels has a slim five point lead on Sven Nys after last weekend's double helping of shut the * up, and with Niels Albert out and Zdenek Stybar hitting the reset button, look for a two-man duel at the front, the result of which is a coin flip from the perspective of the whole season... but after the Hulking of last weekend smart money is on the old man. If it's dry, though, switch your bets to K-Pow. Or maybe the field -- a UCI event outside of Belgium is likely to draw an interesting crowd
Interesting crowd you say? Two Danish guys, a Swede, EIGHT Spanish dudes, a Canadian... interesting indeed. Rob Peeters' bitterness after Gieten ensured him a spot in the Belgian selection in place of Joeri Adams.
