Thanks for getting this going.
WvA wins Belgian title. Hirschi officially confirmed at UAE and will team with Kristoff and Trentin for cobbled classics and Pogacar for Ardennes. Have to imagine he’ll support Pog at Tour as well; should be a much stronger squad this year.
TD aims for Flanders. He and WvA will be quite a duo. My guess is Diesel Dumoulin gets dropped the first big attack on a short cobled climb..
Interested to see what happens to Sagan, with Politt on the team it puts some more pressure on him to perform again.
Belgian championships CX was impressive to watch. Van Aert was really motoring when he tried to drop Sweeck off of his wheel. He said he barely slept for 6 nights because of the birth of his son Georges, and he stayed at the hospital for 3 nights with his wife and child. Half way through the race he was Ă bloc apparently, out of energy. It will be interesting to see how the battle at Worlds in a few weeks will go.
