Ooooow, just realized the spring season kick-off isn't all that far off.
Omloop Het Nieuwsblad is just 7 weeks away.
It looks like we won't see the 'big 3' taking each other on early on in the season.
Mathieu Vandepoel is struggling with a back injury.
Julian Alaphillipe decided to focus on the Walloon classics and will skip the Flemish classics.
Wout Van Aert won't be in the Strade Bianche. A shame, as he's spiced thing up in that race since he first rode it in '18.

Remco-time
(Though I'd love to see Pidders/Bernal at Strade again)

No you’re right. Folks will be exposing that weakness on the gravel sectors again.

There’s a picture with a humongous dent in the back door- and solid bumper- of the van.
It doesn’t feel perhaps *quite* at the Froome level, mostly because he’s younger, but, fuck me that might be the end of him being a contender. He already had pain from scoliosis.

Certainly sounds like a *really* nasty one.
Hope it's not career ending like you say.

I really hope not. The competition between him, Roglic and Pogacar could be legendary. Hate for us to be deprived of that. I should imagine he be out for the season  |

Live Road racing returns this weekend! GP La Marseillaise on Sunday, with highlights of Challenge Majorca same day.
World cyclo-cross champs as well, Saturday women, Sunday men, both 8pm UK (it's in the States) on ES.

Excellent!
I just checked online to see how who won in Fayetteville.
Quality finish photo!
I didn't realize it was some signature move.

Have we seen Cavendish's sprint at the Tour of Oman? And have we seen yesterday's Tour de Provence?

I saw he (cav) was second on the first stage, then won yesterday, so looks like he's in good form.
Hope he gets a turn out for the tour, would love him to do it, although i would be a bit sad for merckx if he lost the record.

Cav looking good, though only Gavirira (getting blocked by his own leadout as well) for competition really. The UAE tour next week is looking spicy though, Groenewegen, Cav and Caleb Ewan.

It's OK, I've only been watching the LR highlights rather than live.

I thought Omloop was today! Then was wondering my KBK was trending. Doh.

KBK I shall try and catch the last 30 mins, last climb seems too far out for a solo win. Although I guess you never know if a WvA is just going to ride off again, though I don't think he starts?

I doubt it after what he did yesterday.

Well, KBK finish was worth getting back for anyway.

I love the week of Paris-Nice & Tirreno-Adriatico too.
Pog back in Italy against Remco, Alaphilippe et Carapaz; Rog in France with WvA.
