'Dale Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 http://cyclingtips.com/2016/03/eight-talking-points-from-the-2016-milan-san-remo/ Good review of MSR
T-Bob Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 Looks like they are going to be running Dwars door Vlaanderens today even after yesterday's events and worries about the accessibility of the public to the riders and reduced police capacity. Giant Alpecin are out due to not being able to get a reduced classic team into the country (was due to be Jack Haga's first return event after the hideous crash earlier this year). Movistar are also low on riders as well.

T-Bob Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 I'm no way as good as Cav' in a preview so I'll just throw you the profile and hi lights from last years race. Defending champ' Jelle Wallays is back after taking the title for Top sport - Vlaanderen let year. This time though he's riding for Lotto-Soudal and has Tiesj Benoot and Jens Debusschere as wing men. Distance: 199.7kms Oh... and Flanders Classics have a pretty good app for these races. http://cdn.cyclingstage.com/images/dwars-door-vlaanderen/2016/profile.jpg

T-Bob Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 Minutes silence to start. Terpstra has taken it a couple of times and he's heading the EQS team again this year with Tony Martin a dark horse. Movistar are fronting with 4 riders. Jasper Stuyven is leading Trek fresh of his recent win. Kefkeleire for OGE might be worth a look... as might the huge amount of dutch and belgium riders from the minor teams that just live for this and are hard as nails. Money tho has to be on GVA, Terpstra or Benoot (as long as he isn't shackled to Wallays).
tombeej Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 35 km into the race, and we finally have a break: Asselman, Boev, Gougeard, Kirsch, Manakov and Van Melsen. One of my lighties (Gougeard) has made the break .
tombeej Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Apparently the rain is falling quite heavily now, after forecast said no rain today....
Vetplant Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Anybody know where one can watch these races online, Supersport seems to only care about the TdF by the looks of things...?
