 [C2] Dwars door Vlaanderen
Welcome to the 5th edition of Dwars door Vlaanderen.
The route consists a typical mix of short climbs and cobbled sectors and both combined – we’re in Flanders after all.
The race is back in the MGUCI calendar after an eight year hiatus – and then also as a late addition. None of the four different former winners is still riding professionally, so we’ll have a new name in the winners list.
Previous winners:

The startlist of the race consists of 13 teams form the CT and 6 teams from the PCT.
Cobblers:
 Zepuntke is the best cobbler by far and also one of the better hybrids in the race. If it’s not him winning the race we have a bunch of other riders pretty much on par.  Moulingui,  Van Lerberghe,  Teggart or  Darbinyan would be my gut choices as alternative winners.

We need a good result after Pologne expetedly tanked our PPRD for the month.
With Darbinyan, Hofstetter and who knows, Wackermann, we have a variety of options. So let's use them good.
Thanks for the preview KB, good luck all.

No Lotto to ruin the fun here :-)
Same scenario for us as always. Edmondson among the faster sub-cobblers that could survive a selection in theory. Miltiadis with his usual free role.

Last time we can use the C2 cobble glitch this year. Let's go De Witte!

We are here but again not expecting a result. That's fine though. One of our last cobbled races then we can start to turn our season around in the stage races we have coming up!

Thank you KB for the preview and Laurens for another amazing report!
Congrats again to the PCT thieves coming into the CT pavé and stealing all our points. Like the reverse Robin Hood of the man game.
Thankfully Van Lerberghe at least showed up for a podium here, about time!

When does the mid-season transfer window open so I can sign a mediocre cobbler to win CT cobbles races?

Soooo, at this point of the season it seems almost like a surprise if Zepuntke actually wins something. So I look forward to see a devastating result! Thanks for the preview and good luck to everyone else.

Oh I saw the report after the Preview ????
Yes! As expected... Besides this i have just nothing to say anymore. Congrats to Bralirwa and thanks for the report!

Ouch, worst cobbled result of the season. What a way to end a very bad month. And may shouldn't be any better.
Thanks for the report!

For a C2 race it might have been our worst, but I'd rather have an underperformance here rather than anywhere else.
Congrats cunego for keeping the PCT teams at the top, and thanks kb for the report!
