Off we go to Belgium for a double header: Omloop het Nieuwsblad (1.UWT) & Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne (1.Pro).

If you're new here, just check the linked start lists and choose a rider for each race who you think can hang on over the lumps and bumps of Flanders.

Omloop Nieuwsblad: Saturday 1st March

Startlist

197km from Ghent to Ninove across pavé, hellingen, and pavéd hellingen, rounded off with the Kappelmuur--Bosberg double header and a 10km dash to the line. Likely a solo move or a small group at the finish. Last year Jan Tratnik mugged the bunch with his solo move.

Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne

Startlist

A lumpy 140km followed by a 60km run in to the circuit finish. Usually one for the sprinty types. WvA took it in a 3-up sprint last year
