GP Wallonie, September 14th, (1.1.)

[Lexman]

Tomorrow the classic around the citadel of Namur will take place.

Last year the sprinter Jens Debusschere won on the citadel.

This year 5 WT teams participate Lotto Soudal, Etixx, FDJ, AG2R and IAM.

Lotto SOudal has a strong team with Gallopin, Bennoot, Debusschere, Wellens

Etixx has Contrears, Jungels, Vakoc.

FDJ has Pinot but I read he was putting an end to his season because of fatigue.

Wanty has Gasparotto, Marcato, Baugnies, Meurisse

Topsort has De Tier

Roompot has Weening

hard to predict a winner....

 

[Oliver]

Good one for Vakoc!

 

[BigMac]

Will it be broadcasted live? Namur looks like such a beautiful town.

The Route Merveilleuse loop which gives entrance to the Citadel is a must in every fantasy race in the area.

Galloping Foxley for the win.

 

[Lexman]

no idea of a television broadcast, nothing indicated on their website...

 

[snccdcno]

It's on Eurosport, in the UK at least.
