wellens snags belgian world championships

[stevep]

will be interesting to read later the details but bart has snagged the belgian world championships...this is considered to be tougher and equally prestigious to the real world championships...plus there are a million little interpersonal conflicts to be resolved.
phew, the belgian battles run long and hard.
the also can presage the other world championships in a few weeks.

Well at least we may actually see the jersey in the races now (assuming he doesn't win the worlds, which will mean we will only see it for a few weeks!). I think the new UCI policy of having the Cross Points Ranking leader wear what was the old World Cup jersey in every race is STOOPID!!! They should have limited its wearing to W Cup races, as before, and let riders wear their regular trade jerseys in the Super Prestige and GVA races. What happens if Nys wins the Worlds in a few weeks? Will we never see the rainbow jersey since Sven has such a mammoth lead in the rankings at the moment. It's such a shame that we didn't see the Belgian tricolor jersey for the last year. It's too beautiful a jersey to not have on show.
