posted by Neil Browne

That was an interesting weekend. The Belgians got flicked from the two classics that had their name all over it. Of the past ten editions of Omloop Het Nieuwsbladand, six have been won by Belgians. Out of the abysmal weather conditions came Spaniard Juan Antonio Fleche. He’s been known...
