Nice.
I can't remember seeing any vids of WF last year.
Will watch later.
Decent race, if a bit over-shadowed by it's bigger relations.

Making plans to attend all three stages. Once across the Channel its only an hour up the road. A new race for me and hopefully better than the dire 3 Day's of De Panne I attended last year.

Stages to Kortrijk and Ichtegem might be really nice if it's windy, good chance for echelons

bring on the carnage!

Mehdi Sohrabi is making his European debut at this event.

Tough baptism for Henao. At least Alex Dowsett has done some dragstrip time trialling to prepare him for the cold and the wind.

Ferry booked for tomorrow and Sunday - Can't afford Saturday as well

Looking forward to this race, sometimes the smaller, more intimate, races afford far greater accessibility and are more spectator friendly - Blog and photo's to follow on Team sky fans...

Disappointing lack of David Millar at this race.

start order

Jamsque · « **Reply #15 on:** March 02, 2012, 14:18 »

Andy Fenn 5th

Jamsque · « **Reply #16 on:** March 02, 2012, 14:57 »

Robert Wagner the first of no doubt many quick times from RSNT

Julien Vermote of OPQS has gone fastest and I have never heard of him.

Jamsque · « **Reply #17 on:** March 02, 2012, 15:27 »

Farrar goes 5th, his form is starting to come.

taipei · « **Reply #18 on:** March 02, 2012, 15:44 »

Nice. A likely sprint tomorrow should confirm that.

CQ guys there are Farrar, Boivin and Lietaer, hence my interest.

Jamsque · « **Reply #19 on:** March 02, 2012, 15:55 »

Kwiatowski held on, Mick Rodgers and Alex Rasmussen came close at the end but couldn't unseat him.

Jamsque · « **Reply #20 on:** March 02, 2012, 16:00 »

1 Kwiatokowski
2 Vermote (STILL don't know who he is) +4
3 Wagner +9
4 Rasmussen +10
5 Sergent +10
6 Van Keirsbulke +10
7 Ignatiev +13
8 Rogers +13
9 Bauer +14
10 Farrar +15

Wonder if Vermote is related to Michel Vermote. EDIT - apparently not. This one is Flemish.

Jamsque · « **Reply #22 on:** March 02, 2012, 16:17 »

He rode for QS all of last year without catching my attention, he did manage 8th in the Belgian ITT champs so obviously no slouch against the clock.

Hugo Koblet · « **Reply #23 on:** March 02, 2012, 17:26 »

I'm glad to see Van Keirsbulck up there as he hadn't shown much this year so far. I think he's a really great talent and he could have a breakout season.

The Hitch · « **Reply #24 on:** March 02, 2012, 18:22 »

Kwiatkowski.

Lets hope he can continue to improve like this.

Might just could become a talent.

Wow I wrote his name twice on this page and managed to misspell it in two different ways.

He was impressive last year already in most of the Belgian races. But I'm indeed looking forward to seeing him win or go to the finale of a bigger race
