Omloop Het Nieuwsblad & Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne this weekend

Let the proper racing begin

It’s that great time of year when my eurosport viewing transitions from biathlons and speed skating to proper racing 🙂

Bloody Springs come around quickly hasn’t it 😆

Bet you had to copy and paste that heading RD 🙂

But you’re right. Although I still think of it as Het Volk

And clock is ticking for Boonen, his last spring campaign, hope he goes out in style…

My Flandrien genes are stirring! Het N passes very close to my Grandmothers family home. Can’t wait, CX season withdrawals sorted.

Very excited that it all kicks off this weekend. Even more so that one of my favorite races of the year is the following weekend in the shape of the Strade Bianche, fingers crossed we finally have a wet one this year. Trying to find a start list (of riders) but can’t see anything online. Assuming they don’t need to name names until nearer the time (or sign-on).
