Fabian Flounders in Flanders

It's been a busy old week of racing since last I blogged. So let's have a quick round up of what's been happening up in Belgium..............First, it was the Dwars Door Vlaanderen. Many of the big names decided to sit it out, as they either rested after MSR, or took it easy before the races later in the week. Making the most of the situation, was young Niki Terpstra, who took a classy solo win ahead of the bunch.

There were no huge scores in the league, but The Roulers came off best for the day, and every point helps.

And in the overall, it was Mungo cycling in the lead. I was doing my best to ignore the Mungos when they were in the other league, but now they're in with the rest of us, I'll have to admit they're looking pretty good.

Next we had the E3 Prijs. And if you happened to follow the race last year, you might remember that Fabian Cancellara won the race after some crashes and mechanical setbacks. Or you might just remember the eye catching race poster.

Spartacus wasn't so lucky this year. He had some crashes and mechanical setbacks, but this time he didn't bounce back so well, and finished some time after the winner Tom Boonen.

On the day it was a reasonable result for the Bile Beans, but a better one for Mungo, the Roulers and a resurgent Hell of the North.

Lastly, but not leastly, it was time for Ghent-Wevelgem. It was another tough day in the saddle, and only the strongest riders were in the final group at the finish. In a messy sprint for the line it was that Tom Boonen again for the win.

Another reasonable day for the Bile Beans, and a very good day for Hell of the North. If they keep on like this they'll be dangerous.

For the moment then, all is right with the league, as the Bile Beans are on top again. Only just though. It's tight at the top.

After all that action last week, we have until Sunday till the next race. And what a race it is. Yes, it's the Tour of Flanders.

Not only is it a proper hard man's race over cobbles and hills and things, but it's also a Velogames cat. 1 race. That means there's points aplenty on offer. If you haven't already blown a bunch of your transfers, it might be time to rejig your team before the big day. Good luck!
