Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 1.UWT (24/2/2018)

[Jagartrott]

I've been on my bike outside this morning (in another region in Flanders), and I can confirm the wind is definitely noticeable. I think it will play a role in the finale (headwind) and hope they start racing earlier, otherwise a sizeable group could end up sprinting for the win.

I think it's more likely for the wind to mean that some outsiders will get away than for the race to end in a sprint. It'll be easier to mark each other and no one really wants to chase. And it's not just the final, it's on Molenberg (or rather on the top of it) and Leberg as well, so I think we could very well see a '13 scenario.

The wind's going to be a factor.
Just look at the flags.

I don't know how it is up in Flanders but down in Liège the wind is horrendously cold. Gorgeous sunshine, though.

 

[Salvarani]

Things should start moving around 50-60 km to go...

If I remember well, it was windy in 2006. when Gilbert soloed.

So, will there be crosswinds on Haaghoek?

Do you have any link? TIZ not starting before 1h and EUSP FR don't broadcast it. What a shame :sad:

EDIT: NVM Tiz is on air!

Thanks, will that also work on the eurosport player?

The previous poster said not to expect any so I am unsure.

There's usually two feeds I think. Just change to the one that say Eurosport 2
