The bicycle of Gert Steegmans in the 2015 Ghent-Wevelgem
Deinze – Wevelgem really but Gent sounds correct, like Het Volk. Last year’s windy wet edition was a pretty awesome race except Luca Paolini won it wearing tights (FFS!?) and maybe high on Italian marching powder. Riders were leaning into the wind and being blown off the road. It was awesome to watch maybe not so awesome to race.
Tony Martin will be lining up as he prepares for a Spring Classics campaign. If you have Ronde van Vlaanderen dreams you best ride this and see how the gun prep has gone. Tomeke, Faboo, it should be a proper battle.
Here is the start list and it is impressive. Let us hope the Belgian weather is true to form. The prize list is equally impressive and after that weird Milan-Sanremo finish, no VSP savants are crushing it yet. So do some stretches, limber up, if you need to unload some bad choices (H. Haussler), get those out of your system now before the real races begin.

@Buck Rogers
That too but I'm banking on him targeting Flanders and building to that.

I kow it is E3 and not G-! but what about Stuyven??? What a fucking Stud! That dude is the real deal and I imagine we'll be seeing A LOT more of him over the next 5-10 years.
E3 is turning out to be a CRACKER of a race today!!!
VSP PICKS:
Fecking Brilliant! I love the way Sagan races. He and Kawasaki (stole that from a cyclingnews quote form earlier today--cannot remember who said it) just exchange a word and drill it with 30 k's to go. Will they make it to the finish? I seriously doubt it but at least they are willing to try and die! Fuck YES!!!
VSP PICKS:
Hope that this race season brings the Belgian public some much needed entertainment and respite from the awful events earlier this week. Imagining a strong showing from the Belgian riders!

Watching E3 has me so freakin' excited for GW. I think the classics specialist will be crushing the sprinter's and hopes and dreams on the burgs!
