To be honest, the opening weekend is easy to win, most cobbles riders are not in shape yet. I've won Omloop and Kuurne with worse riders than Stijn, AI just doesn't consider it an important race.
But great double nonetheless 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

sutty68 - Hoping it lasts until Roubaix
SSJ2Luigi - 
valverde321 -  my apologies Thanks!
krisa - That's the way you become a real champion!
Miguel98 - He wouldn't know what else to do
baseballlover312 - For the moment it's just Stijn being a boss! It's a combination of him getting into his gold years and the old ones slowing down.
FreitasPCM - Well, the rest can fight for the 2nd place
PCM rulezz - Occasional he slips in "bicycle" and, of course, after finishing: "we are the champions" 
Jakstar22 - Indeed, thanks!
wogsrus - Thanks
Ollfardh - Well, it all depends on the form you're in, in comparison to the AI. Usually I have the same low form, but this time I've got the upper hand, thanks!
Thanks for the many replies! I'm not sure how much I can do today. Got a lot of work to do and I have to go away later on. So I'll do the prologue of Paris - Nice in a little while and I'll see what else I can do! |

 Paris - Nice :: Stage 1
Stijn: There are four classified flat stages, but most of them are extremely tough, so good news for me. With Cavendish and Sagan here, one stage win is the goal.
Willy: Last year I won Paris - Nice. Guess who are here this year? Indeed, Uran and Machado.
Stijn Van Gent
Nothing much to say about my race. Taylor Phinney made this prologue a goal, but missed out on the win by 2 seconds!
Willy Wouters
I miss my jersey... But that didn't make me any less motivated!
I raced a decent prologue. Prologues are not my specialty, so a top 10 would be good. Actually, gaining time on Machado and Uran would be good!

Taking 38 second on Uran and 7 on Machado, this isn't a bad start!
See you tomorrow,

Good start for Willy and a great team effort with 3 riders in the top 10

Steady result.
Nice win for Stijn in Kuurne as well, but I expected that, field in Kuurne isn't always that strong

Paris - Nice :: Stage 2
Stijn: Easiest stage of this Paris - Nice. I hope to win today, although the next profiles suit me better as a rider.
Willy: Careful of the wind today.
Willy Wouters
And the "trustee system" takes immediate effect. White wearing Lou Smeets protected me all day. The wind wasn't as bad as predicted, so no splits.
Stijn Van Gent
The team set up quite a lead-out, including Phinney, Howard and Farrar.
But I got blocked by the final breakaway member being reeled in and lost touch with Farrar's wheel!
It took a big effort to get back on that wheel, half my energy was gone. Three sprint trains were getting ready for the finale.
I started the sprint pretty early, as Farrar was slowing down.
Sagan was coming, damn!
Too much energy wasted already, I couldn't hold the speed and finished fourth.

Tja, you can't win them all
Winners never quit, quitters never win.

PCM rulezz - Ain't that the truth
pilipinoopao - He sure is. Won't be easy to beat him.
Jakstar22 - Thanks!
sutty68 - It is, but I'd rather see him on the other side of the ranking
Today's gonna be hard to play. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to post a report until after 5 or 6 p.m. |

Paris - Nice :: Stage 3
Stijn: Definitely a chance for the more punchy-sprinters like Sagan, or in lesser extent myself.
Willy: A dangerous stage for the GC men to lose time. I will lead-out Stijn to avoid time loss.
Willy Wouters
Phinney and Cozza had some fun together today. They were in the breakaway all day long.
I'll let Stijn tell you the rest.
Stijn Van Gent
At the foot of the climb, Sagan made a dangerous move!
But we didn't panic. We set up a little train and reeled him back in. He had kept some reserve for the sprint.
Willy, who definitely can sprint, we all know, led me out just right! But Sagan decided to go early and he passed me by fast.
I made a snap decision to forget about Willy's lead-out and jumped to Sagan's wheel while it was still possible!
The road went less steep near the finish and I was able to build enough speed to pass him. Now it was just a matter of making it to the finish line!
I made it through! On this extremely tough finish, I managed a victory, this is great.

We can deduct several conclusions after this race: Sagan is strong but is definitely beatable, Stijn is looking good for Milan - San Remo, Willy is in great shape... But in the end, the point is that Stijn got another win and tonight we will celebrate that with the team. Tomorrow is another possible chance for the sprinters!
See you there,
Stijn & Willy
PS For those who haven't noticed yet, we both don't fight for the Young Classification anymore. We'll definitely miss that, but we're in the big boys' league now, we have to fight bigger men for bigger jerseys. |

Stijn looking very good for San Remo, just make sure he has Willy and Sep with him on the Poggio and he'll be fine
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.
