Re:

Living next to the parcours (literally), I can tell you that the angels haven't stopped weeing all over South-West-Flandres for the last three hours. Conditions will be great if this keeps going.

That is the best way to say "raining" I've ever seen! :lol:

The official start in the junior race has been delayed due to a crash at the start.

So let me get this straight, they crashed before the start. Training wheels for the juniors!

EDIT - UPDATE - http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/rid...unior-edition-of-kuurne-brussel-kuurne-video/

The junior edition of Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne on Sunday had to be stopped for 20 minutes soon after the start following a crash caused by the race director's car braking suddenly.

Several riders hit the ground during the race's neutral start when the car stopped, but they were all able to remount and the race went on its way again after the short break.

"The driver has been working on the race for several years, but something seems to have gone wrong with the car's automatic gearbox, causing it to come to a standstill," race organiser Maarten Clochet told HLN.be. "I thought the race was going to have to be cancelled, but fortunately none of the riders involved were seriously injured, and we were able to re-start the race after a delay of 21 minutes."

No fault of the riders then - fix that car!

After 10km in the junior race, we have a new incident. A lot of riders are on the ground after a big crash in the middle of the pack!

What the [bleep] is going on here?!

Marc Fournier abandons.

How surprising.

 

[SafeBet]

Sounds like a tough race from the get go. I like it.

There should be a law against not showing classics in the full!

Yes, and this is an even bigger issue next weekend. AGAIN they will only show 90 minutes from Strade Bianche which is just way too little. I don't remember a televised edition where the peloton hadn't been completely blown to pieces before it came on air.

 

[tobydawq]

7 riders including Magnus Cort have established the break of the day. Alex Kirsch, Lawrence Naesen, Pim Ligthart, Jimmy Turgis, Benoît Jarrier and Ludwig De Winter are the other 6 guys.

I wanted watch last 10 kms but I will give it a chance. Looks like tough race.

[Robert5091]

QS doing their best to drop the sprinters.

 

[TomLPC]

It's on, echelons all over, Lotto have guys in the front so no incentive to chase

 

[zlev11]

Great racing right now

Asgreen up with the biggest boys on the Kwaremont! That kid is for real.

 

[Flamin]

Impressive how Asgreen bridged that gap on Kwaremont. Doull as well.

Küng finally also made it. Long time chasing very hard.
