Terpsta Lights Dwars on Fire

Round 2 of the Fantasy Classics saw the riders leave behind the cold and rain of Italy, for the cold and not quite rain of Belgium.

Nicki Terpstra is just one of many talented Classics rider on the mighty Quickstep team.  You may see him working for Tom Boonen in the biggest races, but they seem to let him off his leash at Dwars Door Vlanderen.  He won two years ago.  And he won this year too.  He rode up to and then dropped the main break of the day then soloed on for the win.

And leading the bunch home was Tyler Farrar, who hasn't been seen near the front of a race for several years. 

He used to be quite the sprinter and although Cav usually beat him, he was a dependable points earner.  Let's hope he's got some of his mojo back as seems like a nice enough guy, although those Transitions commercials were pretty annoying.



I used up one of my precious transfers to bring in Tom Boonen.  Right team, wrong rider. Still I did better than most, but not as good as King Chicken.

The Classics come thick and fast.  Tomorrow it's E3 Harelbeke or whatever it's called, so if you were thinking of some team changes, get 'em done.  A quick look down the past winners makes me think that it's one for either Boonen or Cancellara.
