just seen this on cycling news forum, looks odd but some are UCI confirmed.
Basically the flemish classics have been shuffled.


Now there are some race organisers very unhappy with the change.

Not sure I understand those races switching to Wednesday - unless Easter is early next year?

I'm not sure to be honest, the idea is the Gent-Wevelgem is on a sunday as it was always skipped for in between Flanders and Roubaix, not sure what the hell is going on with the others,

Again it's a case of UCI failing.

World Championships 2012 to be held in my region. Limburg, Netherlands

Expect it to be a very hilly course. Finish is in Valkenburg, just a few kilometesr beyond Cauberg, Start in Maastricht.
Details will come in a year I think

TT course unknown, probably starting in Heerlen and also going to Valkenburg

I was quietly hoping for Holland, the course description seemed a lot better that Florence so that's good.
Should make up for a flat 2 years + flat olympic course.

It's far away(in time) but... can't wait!

Actually, for you its kinda close(well far and close). For me its far and far.

Again, in time. Not in distance 3 years...

That's how I feel about Copenhagen in 2011

In other news: about next years Giro.

It's already known to start in Amsterdam, but now there's some new infos:
The prologe in Amsterdam will start and finish on the 'Museumplein' (exact route yet to be fully made), and the first two regular stages both start in Amsterdam as well, with one finishing in Utrecht and one in Middelburg. Then the tour will move on to Italy.

The stage to Middelburg especially should be interesting as it's in the provice of 'Zeeland' = Sealand. The name speaks for it's self: loads of sea = most likely loads of wind.

And me about London 2012, it's an exciting time for this country. Olympic stuff is popping up everywhere, City hall has the olympic and paralympic flags up. The Stadium is almost done.

And i'm planning on getting to Rotterdam for next years TDF start (wanted to see the Giro, but time of year prevents me!), and hopefully Paris for the finish.

I want a WC here, someone is Estonia should cough up some cash and make a campagne to get it here.
Damn TdF organizers teased us last year with a chance of a prologue here but it aint happening unfortunatelly.

That made me cheack the data: I should be free 9 to 11 may when the Giro is here with the exams only starting the 17th

I think Iam going to Copenhagen 2011 but Holland is not that far away either.

A TdF prologue in Estonia? Isn't Estonia way too far to make a prologue there? I mean, it's like a 3 or 4 hours flight from Estonia to France, and that for a simple prologue...

From Tallinn to Paris under 3 hours. And yes it is very unrealistic but at the time it was considered as a possible option and it got a lot of coverage here.

why?
estonian don't give a damn about cycling..
Once National TV sport got..Ivar Jurtsenko. He sayd come on guys..lets talk a little about cycling..This is sport nr. 2 in europe after all. Let's broadcast Tdf ..
this guy aint there anymore..(he has writen cycling books after that)..and stupid estonian should watch european VII league stupid basketball games.
We dont deserve WC.

Chicago 2012 for Olympics!

Not the subject really, but my guess would be Rio or Chicago for olympics 2012, as there is no way Spain is gonna change their view on doping (IOC has said they have too to get olympics there). I don't see Tokyo either as olympics was in asia in 2008.

*cough* the 2 above, they are bidding for 2016.

And Rio and Chicargo now have equal chances. Tokyo and Madrid are out of it.

My gut feeling is Rio has a major problem, and thats being able to afford it. Chicargo wins.

(But i want Rio to win!)
