Gent-Wevelgem

We took the bus and train to Deinze for the start of the race. As we rolled through Kortrijk, we caught some of the team buses getting ready to leave their hotels for the race. The sign-in was pretty interesting as several of the notables were called up for a few words. It reminded us of some nutty game show because whenever they interviewed a rider, this crazy "Price is Right" music came on. Cavendish and McEwen were labeled as pre-race favorites. We took the train and bus back to base camp and road to Wevelgem for the finish. One of the U23/Master races were just finishing up when we arrived. Even the amateurs are rippin fast. We got prime spots just after the finish line so we had a good shot of Oscar Freire taking the bunch sprint. We rolled by the team buses. The one thing we've learned so far is if you want to find Tom Boonen, just look for all the screaming girls. This guy is an absolute stud over here. What's he have that Woody and I don't??? Word.


Cancellara pre-race.
