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.

Not that I count myself as Velominati per se. I, however, find him to be a particularly irritating little twunt.
G-W Picks - thinking it will end in a sprint...
VSP PICKS:
Sprint. Sags saving it for P-R. Fabs too. All those guys will leave it to the sprinters for this one. You can't get a car up the Kemmelberg with the peloton, so Demare could be fucked.
And I gotta put Heiny in at least once, even though he'll never win anything ever again.
VSP PICKS:
Updated picks, dropping Van Avermaet and picking Boonen in his stead.
VSP PICKS:
Uhhhh..????
VSP PICKS:
All change. It's time for Bouhanni to earn his millions.
VSP PICKS:
It was either this 5 or a group of sprinters- with Graviria to win
