Nothing outrageous like in 2015, but the wind will be hard enough to play a role, both in the first part of the race (sideways) and on the way to Wevelgem (3 quarters from the back and tailwind for the last part). It will either be a bit damp / rainy, but if there is a dry spell for e.g. some hours, roads dry quickly with the wind, except on the smaller roads in the berg zone, and the plug streets ofcourse!Whats the wind forecast like. That is the key factor changing it from a hard but not enormously selective final to a brutal every man or woman battling to hang on to the wheel in front final.
I expect Kamil Gradek to come over from the Giro and attack on the Kemmel.
How weird to see this thread now, I swear I will never manage to get myself in touch with the reality of this year's schedule, or any event schedule, what a confusing year. Missed a lot of races already just because I didn't visit this forum often enough.
They can come over together from the GiroWhat about Kamil Malecki?
I loved him in Bohemian Rhapsody.What about Kamil Malecki?
Why not just look the calendar up on PCS?
The problem is remembering, and maybe feeling it, not finding info. Things are losing their regularity. Sports calendars were always subconsciously connected to what I do at certain points of the year, and now both sides are upside down.
And I'm not complaining, in fact I can't believe my luck to still have these intense months of racing this year.
Depending on the scenario - group sprint, echelon race or individual actions - there are many possible winners. A lot will depend on the weather, but "chance of showers" and "changeable" doesn't say very much.
****Van Aert, Van der Poel
***Bennett, Kristoff, Pedersen
**Colbrelli, Ewan, Ackermann
*Asgreen, Stybar, Trentin, Bettiol, Politt, Naesen, Vanmarcke, Benoot
Women:
****Deignan
***Lippert, Bastianelli, Brown
**D'hoore, Kopecky, Mackaij, Wild
*Rivera, Longo-Borghini, García, Wiebes
Ewan is doubtful indeed, but Bennett has the team to keep him in front or bring him back. It depends on the strategy of DSt.That’s a bit optimistic about Bennett and Ewan, I suspect. First races back after the Tour, not much cobbled pedigree... It would have to be an extraordinarily boring edition for either to feature!

And I won't be able to watch any of it. Definitely the wrong sunday![]()
