Arguably my favourite race of the year tomorrows, Ronde Van Vlaanderen.
Paris @roubaixtuesday is pretty special too, but I’d probably rank this slightly higher. The length, the climbs and the overall profile - plus the cobbles too - make it so so special.
Eurosport tv from 9.30am, and on the app with preview show from 8am I think, finish between 3 & 4pm.
Apparently van Aert out with “flu” but I hope all the other top riders will be there.

I think that may have been an accidental tag- but I do enjoy the pavé.

Going to start watching it from lunchtime. Got to be a dad for a few hours before.

Personally, I prefer Roubaix as I find it a tad less predictable. The climbs in Flanders tend to be too selective so many riders are ruled out before the start.

Goodness knows who will win. MvdP may not be 100%, Pidcock not 100%, no WvA etc.. I fancy Asgreen may win. QS need it.

Nice. Just onto first cobbles now
 
Don't like Pogacar so found it amusing when he came fourth in a two-horse race.

It made absolutely no sense for him to refuse to pull from the flame rouge. If MvdP was going to come over the top of him, it would have been with around 100m to 200m to go. Dicking about cost him a podium for sure and a potential (low probability) win.
