Couple of good races there!
Pog came over well once he'd calmed down.

I think everyone should be allowed to be disappointed and to gather themselves together as long as you show a little grace at the end.

I'm prepared to cut him a load of slack. He's what ... 23? He singlehandedly made that race.
I bet he won't do that again!

The only way that they can beat AVV I feel.
A great finish to a great race by Lotte Kopecky. And IIRC, the first Belgian winner of the Ladies race.

I heard the other day that there are only 3 Belgian women in the pro peloton, which, given Belgium's love of cycling is quite bizarre.

Heard on The Cycling Podcast? Yeah, it does rather suggest that maybe the Royal Belgian Cycling League has even bigger problems than British Cycling!
edit to add: 3 Belgian riders in the World Tour peloton. At Pro level, it's a better picture for Belgium, as they're in 5th place, with 43 pro riders. That's 1 less than GB and 1 more than France, which isn't bad for a country with about a sixth of the population. I guess the question is why they're not making it into the World ranks in the same numbers as riders from GB and France.

Kristof takes Scheldeprijs in a solo effort. Rare for Scheldeprijs. Echelons a plenty today, or "waaiers' as they have it here.
Lorena Wiebes takes a repeat victory in the womens race in DSM victory shocker.
