Cobbled classics time (cycling)

[therealdope]

The unofficial kick-off to the classics season is Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. This race used to be called Het Volk. A real hard man's race, this race is full of steep climbs, narrow roads, and cold Flemish weather. The following day is Kuurne - Brussel - Kuurne. KBK is a flatter race and usually comes down to a group sprint.

Van Avermaet has been one of the fastest finishers for the last couple of years.

Stuyven won the junior Paris-Roubaix in 2010.
