Well, it's all gonna start today at 11:30 with the men's juniors race, and at 14:30 the U23. Both breadcasted live on Belgian tv (Sporza).
It's completely dry here, and the temperature is around 0 degrees celcius.
But the juniors race will learn us a lot more about the course |

everybody knows the european songfestival is worthless with all the east european countries voting for eachother. and thats worth money, rather then cyclo-cross, which is like the most important sport in half of Belgium? |

Being dutch I cant do anything else then put Boom on 1 of course. Then 2 and 3 should be Nys and Albert.
But the safest bet remains Walsleben of course
anyway: I'm going to watch it all live tomorrow, anyone else going to Hoogerheide as well? |

not, in fact it could look like this:
1. Stybar
2. Albert
3. Vantornout

the junior race is on. Tijmen Eising rode away shortly after the start, and we're now about halfway and his lead has increased to +-20 seconds. I think he could make it all the way to the finish, since the pack chasing isnt really working together well.
about the course, it's dry, frozen and mainly: fast. first lap 28.5 km/h for juniors  |

And the Belgians are already whining it's a road criterium
If they had seen last year, then they know this race is normally very hard, when it rains a little.
Like we can help the weather. |

i'm not gonna say a road criterium but a bit more technical course would be welcome
some more turns. a difficult technical passage

If they did that, and it would be muddy, they would be complaining it was over the top. So it's never right anyway |
