So after a good performance yesterday , where we almost got the win , it's time for another classic in Belgium: Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne .
It's quite different from yersterday's race . There are only 5 sectors with cobbles , and the last 30 kilometers are on flat so we expect a mass sprint . Boonen won in 2007 and 2009 when he was a strong sprinter and Cav won last year , so it's normal to have high expectations from this race .
There is exactly the same team as in Omloop Het . Even if Boonen is the leader , the race will probably end up in a mass sprint where we will help Cav .
The race
With 80 kilometers to go there was a fall in the pack and the peloton split into pieces . Luckily we were in front and in the first group , that had 11 riders , 6 were from OPQS : Chavanel , Cavendish , Boonen , Steegmans , De Weert and Vandewalle . Vanmarcke , Turgot and EBH were also there .
30 seconds behing us there was another group with Boom , Nuyens and Devolder . At 1:30 there was the peloton , containing Cancellara , Flecha , Van Avermaet and Hushovd .
With 20 kilomters to go all 3 groups were all together again .
Nuyens wanted to avoid a mass sprint and attacked.
He was caught and then Hushovd , Flecha , Eisel and Vansummeren attacked . Our train was looking good with Chavanel , Steegmans , Boonen and Cavendish .
800 meters to go - Commeyne was in front , but Cavendish and EBH were coming fast from behind .
Cavendish takes the win - 6th of season already !!! He also won for the 2nd straight year in Kuurne .

Brilliant win for Manx express
Winners never quit, quitters never win.

Thanks and indeed brilliant win !
So here we are for another one-day race in Belgium : Le Samyn , a 1.1 classic that will be our last competition in February ; of course we want to end this amazing month with another win .
Profile
It is a classic with an interesting profile , mostly flat , but with 4 cobbled sectors in the last 70 kilometers .
Line-up
We have a pretty good line-up for a 1.1 classic where the biggest favourites are Hayman , Phinney and Scheirlinckx . We have Vandenberg , Meersman , Stybar and also Steegmans who is in great shape (89 fitness)
The race
Sky , BMC , Astana and RadioSahck managed to send a man into the BOTD . Stybar tried 2 or 3 times but he was not involves in the successful break-away . Now it was up to us to chase them , thankfully Blanco and Lotto helped .
With 20 kilometers to go Steegmans and Meersman made a move and attacked from the peloton .
On the last sector of cobbles Steegmans caught Kohler , the strongest man from the break-away , while Meersman was caught by the peloton . Scheirlinckx and Stannard attacked and they almost joined us.
On the remaining kilometers of flat the peloton organised the chase and we had to give up . Steegmans tried to save as much energy as possible for the sprint . With 1.5 kilometers to go Hayman launched his sprint and we decided to follow him . Steegmans reacted quickly and he looked like he had very strong legs .
With 1 kilometer to go Gert jumped from Hayman's wheel and took the lead . He was very fast , but other riders were coming from behind...Can he hang on ?
OF course ! 1st win of the season for Steegmans and this is our 17th win so far in this season .

Last year we had an amazing start of season , with 13 wins ! But in 2013 things got even better , if anybody could think of that : At the end of February we have now 17 wins !!! Let's hope that we can continue winning during the season , but it will very difficult because the top riders will start getting into good shape .

So here we are at the end of another month of cycling . As I am used to do here is a summary of what happened in February !
CQ Ranking
Individual
As you can see Ventoso ( Movistar) is now in the lead. Mark Cavendish is our best-placed rider at 2nd position . 3rd is Edvald Boasson Hagen ( Sky).
Movistar is in the lead here , again . But we are at only 20 points behind , so let's hope we take 1st place at the end of March . Androni-Giocatoli ans Sojasun are the best placed PCT teams , while AG2R is the last of the WT teams .
injuries
* John Gadret broke his hand and he will miss his main objeective of the season : Giro dÍtalia .
*Ben Swift broke his collarbone and it is expected to return at the start of May .
*kanstatin Siutsou is another rider from Sky affected by an injury , he will return racing at the end of March .
Johnny Hoogerland suffered a fractured rib and he will miss 2 months of racing .
Our rider of the month
And this award goes to : Zdenek Stybar . You probably expected after getting 6 wins and winning the GC in Etoile de Besseges and Tour Mediterraneann .
Our schedule for March :
Tours
Name | Number of stages | Paris-Nice | 8 | Tirreno-Adriatico | 7 | Volta Cataluna | 7 | Driedaagse De Panne | 4 |
Classics
Strade Bianche | Nokere Koerse | Milano San Remo | Dwars door Vlaanderen | E3 Prijs Vlaanderen | Gent-Wevelgem |
See you soon at Strade Bianche !

Good win for "The Steeg"
I'm a big fan of Stybi, so happy that he did so great

Thanks !
So let's start another month of racing ! We already have 17 wins so far , so there should be no pressure on us . Our first race in March :Strade Bianche!
Profile
It's an unique race because of the sectors where there is no tarmac and we ride on narrow roads with gravel .
DAMN ! So much dust...
Line-up
We have a pretty strong line-up , with Meersman and Boonen . It's glad to have Terpstra back on the saddle , let's hope he will soon get into good shape .
Opponents
*** Peter Sagan , Fabian Cancellara
** Diego Ulissi , J.A.Flecha , Edvald Boasson Hagen
* Grega Bole , Moreno Moser , Francesco Gavazzi , Franco Pellizotti
The race
A small BOTD was formed . Thanks to Sky , Cannondale and Astana we managed to catch them really soon . Then Monfort attacked with 25 kilometers to go and he seemed to be very strong . He had a 40 second gap when he entered the last 10 kilometers .
We started chasing and thanks to Terpstra and then Boonen we managed to catch him . We decided that our man for the uphill sprint will be Meersman .
On the first slopes of the final climb we were in front with Boonen and behind him Meersman . With 1 kilometer to go Gianni launched his sprint from 1st position .
But Sagan came incredibly fast from behind and took the win !

7th place for Meersman , that's ok for us . We are preparing for Paris-Nice , the first objective of the season for us. Our sponsors want a podium place in the GC and Tony Martin looks in great shape . Let's hope that the competition will not be very tough .

Nice effort from Meersman and Boonen in the last km. Never tries, never wins
