Northern Classics Re-shuffle. W Champs Major changes

Found this on another site and I know it will be of big interest to some.

It looks like Belgian TV-producer Wouter Vandenhaute, who bought the Tour of Flanders, Omloop Het Volk and Paris-Bruxelles, was able to convince the UCI to change the sequence of the Flemish (semi-)classics. His goal is to give the Flemish Cycling Week more international exposure by e.g. organizing Gent-Wevelgem on sunday before the Tour of Flanders. By doing so he wants to upgrade the status of Gent-Wevelgem which is now often skipped by the Flanders & Roubaix favourites.

What will happen with the KBC Driedaagse De Panne-Koksijde is not clear yet.


The 2010 calendar:

Wednesday 24 March: Dwars Door Vlaanderen
Saturday 27 March: E3-prijs Harelbeke
Sunday 28 March: Gent-Wevelgem
Wednesday 30 March - Thursday 1 April: KBC Driedaagse De Panne-Koksijde
Sunday 4 April: Ronde van Vlaanderen
Wednesday 7 April: Scheldeprijs Vlaanderen
Sunday 11 April: Parijs-Roubaix
Wednesday 14 April: Brabantse Pijl

Edit from yesterday. The E3 remains in it's Saturday slot, the Gent-Wevelgem, follows on the Sunday.
So, a big weekend out for some!

Just an idea, but would it be worth entering some of our kids as the Justcycling team in the under 6 balance bike team time trial?

and the team time trials will be for trade teams is my understanding from that article

is that because the hein verbruggen memorial team time trial that took place in eindhoven until this year hadn't caught on (eindhoven is a very short distance from verbruggen's home town helmond)

there is an error in my statement put can anyone guess it?

You typed "put" instead of "but"  Wink
Nolte

no i was thinking of an error i did on purpose, not that i am a terrible speller
MAILLOT JAUNE

D'oh!
Is there no such thing as the verbruggen TTT?
He wasn't born in Helmond?.........
Nolte

nope that wasn't the error i made on purpose
cardinal guzman

You've decided not to use capitals or punctuation?
MAILLOT JAUNE

Eindhoven TTT wasn't run this year?

is mr verbruggen still alive and performing important tasks in the rarefied air of the upper echelons of sports administration?
