Edit: initially in Dutch, then switched to English. Echoes won't be happy, then.

Be glad. You don't want to have a sprinter as winner of this race?

Belgium will rule the classics for all eternity, now with Stuyven and Benoot in the coming years
Küng's future will depend on professional guide through the road racing, I'd say.Bushman said:Maaaaaaaarten said:Nice to see Stuyven developing and getting a big win like this now.

Not quite sure Stefan Küng will agree.
I reckon he will be a future star in the classics as well when he switches fully to the road.

Gianni Moscon seems like one to be watched as well now already!Maaaaaaaarten said:Bushman said:Not quite sure Stefan Küng will agree.

Küng is a great prospect indeed, but he still has to prove himself. He's young, so it's only natural, but Benoot and now also Stuyven have already proved themselves in classics. Gougeard as well by the way. Also, Senechal got amazing results as a neo pro, but he needs to find a better team.

TommyGun said:Really great opening weekend, with long range attacks and voluntary riders!! Hopefully it is a sign of the spirit of the rest of the season...
Yes! I love that the opening weekend saw winners come from attacks because now that "I can get away and win" thought is in everyone's head! I'm excited for some more good spring racing!TommyGun said:Really great opening weekend, with long range attacks and voluntary riders!!

Yeah. I've once read an opinion that he was in WT only because of his brother. I find it unfair. He proved to be a great team-mate today.Carstenbf said:P.S props to Van Poppel setting things up beautifully!

If OGE stop stalling Luke Durbridge's career and make him something more than a whipping boy for Simon Gerrans and Caleb Ewan, then he would have a say about it too. Potentially Michael Hepburn as well. Although he's probably more suited to the Ardennes.
