THX I couldn't find a ticker.

 

[Cobblestoned]

Yes, interested and nearly got there. But weather is too bad.
No fun without sunshine for me.

Next try Eneco Tour.

So, congrats to EBH.

will EBH take part in Eneco this year?

Nice to see he finally win something.

What a lame name. Wasn't this called Veenendaal-Veenendaal or something? And that race is 1.HC? ;o

Just checked Team Sky's website and yes he will do the Eneco Tour alongside Kurt-Asle Arvesen, Michael Barry, Mathew Hayman, Greg Henderson, Chris Sutton, Geraint Thomas and Bradley Wiggins. Pretty stong team that.

considering their perfect lead out always failing 200m away from the line, it is a question what results EBH will get in Eneco Tour.

What do you mean, "finally"? Tirreno and Dauphine suddenly don't count? Just what kind of unreasonable expectations did you have?

Too true. If they can't get a lead out right with that team then they might as well give up.

Also, with EBH, Henderson, Wiggins and Thomas in the team they should win the race given the reliance on time trials.

Cyclesport's green jersey expectation.

Dutch races are all named after the sponsors unfortunately. It kill the classic feeling of a course imo.
Amstel Gold Race = beer
Eneco Tour = Energy provider

etc Silly names.

Agree, but I do look the name of the Amstel Gold Race. **** bear though.

All other Dutch races have silly names lol. I just can't see this race being any good with that name lol.

Hehe, I visit that one nearly every year with a bunch of guys from the dutch procyclingmanager forum.
Always loads of fun.

I never heard of this race but 1.HC means it is pretty big. Like omloop or E3.

Has it changed its name?

(no offense I dont expect people to have heared of Tour of Britain etc)

Yes, it used to be Veenendaal-Veenendaal. Let's hope the organizers come to their senses and rename it.

Dutch Food Valley... I didn't even know we had a food valley. Then again, the marketing ploy has worked: now I do know.

I thought it was a (very) loose translation of Gelderse Vallei.

Cobblestones, is that photo Rhenen?
