Omloop het Nieuwsblad 2012

[Kwibus]

Is this live on Eurosport?

Doesn't look like it. Like mentioned above there will be loads of streams though.
Maybe you won't understand what they will say, but it will most definately be worth watching it. Great race.

 

[El Pistolero]

If Greipel is riding this, I wouldn't bet against him

I hope he does...

A great way to learn a new language

 

[MartinGT]

Thats with MSR

I see no Saxo-Bank, they didnt race it last year did they?

 

[hatcher]

A great way to learn a new language

In all my years watching foreign streams I have managed to learn absolutely nothing! It's depressing.

 

[Kvinto]

wouldn't it be too bold to pick Ramunas Navardauskas for the top-5?

 

[trevim]

wouldn't it be too bold to pick Ramunas Navardauskas for the top-5?

Yes it would. Specially since I think he'll go top 5 on Green Mountain too

 

[Kvinto]

Yes it would. Specially since I think he'll go top 5 on Green Mountain too

Basically he looks too heavy for the Green Mountain, though it doesn't mean he won't do well there but he seems to be a good prospect for cobbles while the only obstacle being that he (almost) hadn't ridden cobbled classics before.

EDIT:

Height: 190cm
Weight: 77kg

Navardauskas won L-B-L u23 in 2010. He can get up an hill quite well.

 

[Kvinto]

Navardauskas won L-B-L u23 in 2010. He can get up an hill quite well.

I know, but that doesn't mean he's a climber. I suspect he's a man for classics, the question stands what classics: hilly or cobbled? He's doing well in Qatar/Oman so far and these are classics' preparation races and in the end he was good in Ronde U23 as well

 

[Herr Katt]

He's seems to be an absolute diesel. Just powering on front for miles and miles. His first week at the Tour de France he was amazing.

Cant wait for the season to really start

 

[online-rider]

Lol me also. I love listening to the flemish streams though.

 

[CobbleStoner]

1 week to go until the real start of the season!!!
on paper, just give it to BMC now, but thats what is great about bike racing, anything can happen. I predict Matti Breschal and Degenkolb will also be there at the end.

 

[theyoungest]

Navardauskas won L-B-L u23 in 2010. He can get up an hill quite well.

He won LBL from a breakaway. Still pretty good of course.

Hushovd will smoke them because Gilbert/ Ballan/ GVA will have attacked.

 

[Cult Classics]

So am I right in thinking if you don't live in Belgium or maybe Holland the only way to watch this is streaming? I know cycling.tv didn't even carry it live last season.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Less then a week...

Who are the contenders? Hushovd didn't look good to me in Haut-Var to be honest.

 

[hatcher]

Breschel has looked strong.

From a Sky point of view, Stannard is looking in cracking form.

 

[El Pistolero]

I'm still convinced Boonen will finally take it. It's the only cobbled race missing on his palmares.

 

[Froome19]

Breschel has looked strong.

From a Sky point of view, Stannard is looking in cracking form.

+1
Stannard will show the world how strong he truly is in the cobbled classics this year, with help from his super strong domestiques Juan Antonio Flecha, Matt Hayman, Salvatore Puccio, EBH and Thomas (if he turns up)

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I remember Stannard being beaten by average cobble riders like Flens and Traksel. TBH can't see him as a contender.

Maybe for 10th place or something.
