Devolder on the Muur

Yeow!

He just crushed everyone else---looked strong all the way to the top.

pretty amazing. He looked so fit today. Like a perfect riding machine. I'd love to watch this race in person with that crowd.

johnnymossville -- Next year you should ride the cyclosportive Ronde on Saturday and watch on Sunday. I was there last year with Cycle Sport and had a great week - from Flanders to Paris-Roubaix. Some notes and pics here. (http://www.feviper.com/classics.htm) :beer:

Looking forward to Vs. coverage this afternoon.

Jim, That looks like a wonderful time, thanks for posting that. Gotta start saving my pennies now. I think my brother is up for it as well.

Great pics. :) love the Molteni Volvo. were you expecting Merckx to roll up?

Here's the Muur; the last half of this clip is where it appears the Tour of Flanders was won.

How Devolder did that, who knows... maybe there's some magic in the Ronde course for him.

Devolder was huge this year as he was last year. Love this time of the year. You all can keep the big tours, I'll take classics all year long!
