Gent-Wevelgem - Video and Roundup

Gent-Wevelgem used to be branded a 'Sprinters Cobbled Classic' and although Eisel is a Sprinter he is more in the older mode pre lead out trains and uses his brain as well as brawn to get the result. The racing over the weekend has been exciting, and frankly I live for this time of year. Every since Feb 28th we have been treated to a fine spectacle of racing at the highest level. Next weekend will be a ding dong at Flanders and anything less would be a great disappointment after the last few weeks.

So enjoy the vid's catch up with the detail and get yourself ready for Sunday.

Ouch! This seems not an uncommon site for the veteran roadie. I always think that the power that he has would transfer well to the Classic's but he's there as a 'Super Domestique'.

Hope it's nothing too serious and that we will see him at the big one next weekend. Hope it's only a few bumps and bruises and nothing more serious.

One of the few riders to buck the Garmin trend of using Shimano SPD-SL pedals. Julian has been on Speedplay for a few years and began using them while at Credit Agricole, which must have made Look smart.
