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.

Well I've been busy sewing old cuffs onto my newer socks to extend them up. And I'm with Brett here, except for the Heiny call, done that too many times already. I'm thinking some real sprinter will win this. And I'm putting Zabel in because I can. No idea if he can even finish much less sprint.
Or Ian Stannard will just lay waste to everyone and I'll have nothing again.
