Anyway, crazy race and as I have feared it for years, the Yates are starting to twin dope.

Why wouldn't I be? The entire point of the Race Design Thread is fictional races, or races we'd like to see. Seeing as there are no races to see at the moment, this is just taking races we'd like to see one step further. There's an entire compendium of prospective routes in there from dozens of posters.(Libertine, I've simply taken your route, I very much hope you're okay with that!)
Following Gigs' idea I would like to present a "live report" of an imaginary Ronde van Vlaanderen coming Sunday, with regular updates during the race. I'm already preparing something.
I heard Boonen showed up at Grote Markt all dressed up for racing, but without a bike.Welcome to this imaginary edition of the Ronde van Vlaanderen. The 267 km race from Antwerp to Oudenaarde has just started. The riders will climb seventeen Flemish hills, including three times the Oude Kwaremont and twice the Paterberg. The weather is as usual during this year: dry, sunny, not windy, not a cloud in the sky. Among the participants are the five most recent winners: Kristoff, Sagan, Gilbert, Terpstra and Bettiol. Will one of them do it again or will we get a new winner? During the next six hours there will be regular updates of the race situation.
