Et bien bilan de la 1ère étape. Il faisait super froid et nous devons joué au chat et a la souris avec les échapees. Puis une chute avec CJ, Christian et Pat! On a perdu du temps…mais pas trop. Et il reste encore quatre étapes!
Demain lever a 6h45 et départ 9h45! Et ils annoncent 1 […]

The report from stage 1. It was super cold and we had to play cat and mouse with a breakaway of two. Then Chris Sutton, Christian Vande Velde and Pat McCarty got caught up in a crash. We lost some time, but not much. And there are still four more stages left.
Tomorrow we get […]

Despite the epic weather conditions, […]

Froid, pluie, grèle, neige et vent toute la journée pour ce grand prix de la ville de Rennes. J’ai rarement connu des conditions météo plus difficile. A l’arrivée, moins de 50 coureurs sont classé!
L’équipe Slipstream a encore une fois fait une belle course présente dans les principales échappées. Comme à la Route Adélie, j’ai trouve […]

Our 19-year-old rider Danny Summerhill (left) definitely deserves a big shout out for hanging tough yesterday and finishing 11th in one of the hardest road races in the US. Nearly half the field dropped out, so it was not an easy ride.
The race got off to a very nervous and dangerous start with […]

Martijn Maaskant (above): I’m really happy with this result in my first Ronde! I didn’t expect this in my debut here. Hopefully I can hold on to this form for a couple of weeks and help Maggy in Paris-Roubaix next Sunday.

Huub Duyn (right): Bad day to have bad legs! I still enjoyed the people […]

Held in the Flemish Ardennes, the Tour of Flandres, or “Ronde van Vlaanderen,” will celebrate its 92nd running this year. Considered the most important race in Flanders, the course contains many short, steep hills, or “hellings,” many paved with cobbles.
The 17 “hellings” include: Kluisberg, Nokereberg, Molenberg, Wolvenberg, Oude Kwaremont, Paterberg, Koppenberg, Steenbeekdries, Taaienberg, Berg Ter […]
