    Time to brush up on Dutch, Flemmish or whatever.

    According to my Tv listings, it should be on Eurosport 2 (Danish) from 15.00 CET.

    partij does not translate to party.

    That'd be 'feest'

    What a way to spoil the partij, Rick.

    Why all the hate for Sagan?

    Where do I start? For me it can be summed up with two words...

    OK well I'm claiming Sjoerd van Ginneken as MY MAN in the break.

    Please provide evidence of a previous claim to Sjoerd van Ginneken as your man. You can't just run around picking riders willy-nilly, you know.


    If it's not in the thread, he's not your man. Dries is on my elite "Lives in the area" list of 4.

    Demol interviewed on Sporza whilst driving.... He says Canc is out of GW on sunday and they'll look at Flanders in the week.

    A stabbing and a shooting are even funnier.

    EDIT-obviously not for those involved.

    Feest is more common (or feestje, if you want to get conversational about it), but Partij is also a party.

    Cancellara news

    14:26:41 CET
    Trek Factory Racing DS Dirk Demol has told Belgian television that Fabian Cancellara will miss Gent-Wevelgem this weekend. Not ideal preparation for his Tour of Flanders defence.

    But I missed the thread :( I was busy...

    Can't I just pull a Frenchie and have whoever I fancy as MY MAN?

    My reason is that I like the name Sjoerd, don't know why, I just find it fun to say out loud and the second reason is he rides for Roompot and the name of the team makes me laugh. I want it to be called Stamppot.

    Valpartij.

    It's what is happening to the Partij van de Liberaal Democraten.

    Cancellara reportedly said as he climbed into the team car that his spring campaign is over, and he may be forced to miss Flanders and Roubaix.

    Well if him and Tom are out then it is a race between mere-mortals only.

    I call a Wiggins conspiracy. Win at all costs sort of guy you know.

    May possibly make the racing more interesting but I doubt it.

    According to CN "Cancellara reportedly said as he climbed into the team car that his spring campaign is over, and he may be forced to miss Flanders and Roubaix. Let's home his condition improves in the coming days."

    Jolien D'Hoore is the first on my "my women" list, as I've just discovered she lives in Merelbeke too.

    The thread is still there, although I'm not sure that claiming riders after the season has started is less of a faux pas than claiming them willy-nilly. We need a my man expert to opine.

    Looking at the video of the crash now, it looks like the bottom of the first dip on Haaghoek where they'll be hitting 60kph, then the road suddenly narrows and goes uphill sharply. somebody puts a frontwheel on the verge and chaos ensues. Bad one.

    Paging Rick... what's your view on picks counting after a deadline?

    It's not a PTP.

    But we WILL look a little askance at anyone picking riders now who includes those that have got off to a good start. Unless previous commitment to them can be documented.

    Gotta keep it fresh! SOme ace roads on this that you won't see on TV, La Houppe is a 2km long hairpinned climb, it also goes the "wrong" way on that lovely cobbled downhill with a chichane over a railway line that everybody who's ridden the Ronde sportif remembers.

    Stationsberg isn't it?

    I'm not sure that's going to be too much of a problem... Apart form Kwia and Porte I don't have many winners (sorry Cav) and I think it obvious they've always been my men. I even had a Kwia avi for a while and have posted many a picture of a Toblerone.
