    My man Debu looking resplendent in the Belgium national champ colours. Rumour has it he bought the win but given Boonen has more money than he knows which car to crash next with, I dont think that rumour is true. Others say he was a profillic 2nd place finisher in the kermesses but no one ever knew much about him. That is because my man Debu has masterered the art of shadow riding - a skill available to the select few and taught only by one man: Si Gee No Neek. The connection between the two is not clear; I still search for that reason.

    For now Debu, forget the weight of the stripes and I dont want to see you until the last 20km!!

    If you'd seen the nationals race you'd have witnessed a balls up that only QS could have pulled off, there is no way they could have coreographed such dumb

    And buy a more appropriate T-shirt. And a change of glasses wouldn't go amiss either.

    It's quite an achievement actually. He used an entire tub of gel but still hasn't managed to slick the first part of his hair back.
    He's an unholy mix of Mark Lamarr, Richard Osman and Gok Wan.

    Is this better or worse than Planckaerts grubby sweater at E3?

    Or a handy second card to play if GvA isn't in the mix. Either way he's likely to put in a decent My Man effort if he rides anything like he's done so far this season.

    I'd just like to point out that My Man Scott Thwaites not only finished G-W, but got a top 20 placing. He's gonna rip this race to shreds.

    Hoping for a good showing from my man Bandiera, hopefully uses some of his experience from riding for OPQS, and expands on his 6th place in last years Omloop Het Neiuwsblad.


    Frenchie, your post is sublime.

    Sep's bike for today. "Less fatigue, more control" isn't a catchy slogan.

    Are "my man" transfers allowed?
    I was waiting for Frenchie to make the suggestion. :P

    So, Kirby, Quigley and Sean K.
    Obviously don't trust the buffoon with the big one.

    British Eurosport live, for a minute I thought we were getting a break from Kirby but unfortunately Declan Quigley was just doing the introduction...

    Kirby is such a muppet. What a waste of Quigley.

    I prefer Kirby myself although it is a little bit like saying I'd prefer to be drowned than buried alive

    My man Oliver Naesen already a winner! For a neo pro to be riding in his home country at this level he's got to be happy. Hoping to build on his 3rd place at the Omloop van het waasland earlier this year........

    If the spectators have started it's acceptable to start at home...
