2013 Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne [Cancelled due to snow]

[maltiv]

jup I also expect Kristoff. it will be a race for guys that can handle the cold. Boasson Hagen could also be a potential winner. And I do believe Greipel can handle the cold better then Cavendish.

I don't think EBH has a chance at all. Just like Wiggins and the other Sky riders who did the entire Mallorca training camp he seems to be totally exhausted.

Hopefully they know what they're doing and the form will come in time, but I kinda doubt it. Anyhow, Sky will probably ride for someone else, like Swift, Geraint, Rowe or most likely Eisel.

No Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne for Tom Boonen tomorrow

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Also most of the course have crosswinds, not really very hard or anything, but it should make the cold even more awful for those poor riders.

That's one unsubstantiated whine which never gets old.

It doesn't seem to matter how much money they pay him, or how often they ride for him, it's Sky's fault Edvald isn't as good as we thought he would be.

It's on Eurosport.

Sure? It isn't on the programme I have...

Unless it's made available through a special channel on Eurosportplayer...

But this one says that it will be live on British Eurosport...

 

[RedheadDane]

But I don't have British Eurosport.
Nor do I have TV3 Sport.

So... will there be a Sporza feed for those of us who don't have access to more... conventional ways of watching?

It will be on sporza from 15.15 cet so I guess there will be a stream.

It said on there channel last night that the race was live at 2.15pm UK 3.15pm CET

I'd imagine there will be plenty of Eurosport streams anyway

Lol I just said he isn't in form, it's perfectly reasonable if they aren't riding for him. I guess selective quoting is fun though.

Hi maltiv, will EBH try again to peak for P-R, or what will his goal(s) be in this spring?

 

[manafana]

looks like the proper route is being kept, expecting a good race from Hutarovich once again. Watch out for Howard too hes had two wins in warmer climates but hoping he transfers that to here.

 

[maltiv]

Yes, P-R is his main goal, which is ridiculous imo.

Looking like chaos for KBK tomorrow. Weather forecast is terrible, many of the major climbs taken out

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

Lots of snow photos being tweeted this morning. Over here in Germany, just at the Netherlands border, we have 6-8 inches of snow with it still coming down.

At the very least they will probably have to take the climbs out, if they don't cancel all together, I would think.

the final decision will be made at 11:00 cet according to Het Nieuwsblad

 

[rghysens]

Here in Gent it is still snowing a little bit. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the organisers would cancel the race.

 

[RedheadDane]

Won't help much if I don't have access to those!
And Sporza is cool, only I can't really understand it...

It... doesn't make me mean that I'm seriously laughing about the snow, does it?
I hope they won't cancel. But... if there's a safety issue they should!

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

It's just a bloody sprint for bleeps sake - can't they just find 100ks of gritted road to tour around?

 

[theyoungest]

The problem is that it keeps snowing. And maybe rain later. That's too dangerous, no matter how much you like to see your man Cav win.

 

[Richeypen]

Cancel it but let Traksel, Flens and Stannard ride!

 

[Gloin22]

Stannard loving the conditions it seems

Tbh if the condtions are like this, it will not be a sprint I think . Remeber 2009 KBK in bad conditions ? That was fun
