No pictures available yet so here's me in Glacier, sorry.


Dwars door Vlaanderen: 200 kilometers through the center of Flanders in the Belgian semi classic... the weather is cold and rain has started with attacks and an escape off the front...
Live coverage: Dwars door VlaanderenThe Wednesday after Milano-SanRemo is traditionally the Belgium semi classic Dwars door Vlaanderen. This race is 200 km long in distance through the centre of Flanders. During this race the riders have to do twelve climbs of the local cobbled bergs - some that are included in the other Spring Classics.
Chavanel ImpressiveChavanel did a great ride today. attacking with Nuyens on the Oude Kwaremont, bridging up to the break, involved in every break after they showed up in front and then attacked just before the chasers were able to come back and rounded off his efforts in an impressive way.
If this is a preview of what we have in store for the Spring Classics this year it's going to an exciting season.
