    What was that they said about the ladies race? Something about Kirsten Wild.

    Are Euaskatel obliged to ride the northern classics? I can never see the point in them taking part and their riders seem to hate it. Benign weather but that looks like it might change for the main event next Sunday ;)

    Note the team wearing legwarmers - some Euskatel guys obviously not at all keen on riding this race.

    All the team cars need to get in front before the Kwaremont.

    Hence the long wide-road run in.... That's deliberate.

    Some of these guys look like they could use a few lower gears. Really grinding on the climb.
