Great races at E3 - Harelbeke and Gent. Stijn is looking in superb shape, Ronde should be quite a race. Good luck.

@Jakstar22: Thanks
@ste_18: I hope it was enough! Thanks
@sutty68: he came about just in time, like last season (I think he likes to cut things close)
@JuanMotr: This time I also hope your nose was wrong
@ricotery_uy: Thanks!
@Alakagom: Hopefully we'll see a battle between the big three |

This was just a race to keep my legs moving for RvV. I could've gotten better results but my mind is already at the Ronde. I should've been more focused here.
My season is starting very late, because of the little stranger my wife was expecting. But I'm getting into shape gradually. I should be alright by the Giro! |

Thanks all! I wanted to ride it now but I hear there's some trouble with Photobucket, so I'll wait until it's fixed. See you then! |
