... And of course Matthieu Van Der Poel is getting everybody fidging in their seats (he absolutely should be able to overthrow the Belgian domination) although I can't see the road teams not pulling his arm in the future

I guess this doesn't come as much of a surprise then ?! :eek:
Now.. of course... the type of cross suited him a lot, I can't see him doing the same (yet) in a very hard and muddy cross
Still... you gotta take your hat of to him

Indeed, hopefully this will give Pauwels some extra wings in the "real" crosses, since this one was as close as it can get to a road race :smile:
(Van Tormout and Aernouts lowering the tempo of the peloton to create the gap for Pauwels and VdH, was even a full-out road-race tactic)

Watching the cross in Essen. Nys killing it in front, but has just stacked a bunny hop.

Doesn't exactly set the pulse racing does it. Still I expect on current form Mr Nys could make a roll of carpet go like the stink!

Nys told in an interview, that the bike is a continuation of Cancellara's bike (for Paris Roubaix). I guess if it's good enough for Spartacus, it should be good enough for the guys in the field :smile:

BTW, I seem to be fairly correct with my early season predictions, the Belgian hegemony isn't destroyed yet. LvdH has dominated the WorldCup, but as mentioned back than, that is/was mostly because of the type of races that suite him. He hasn't been so great in the Superprestige or BPost races (unfortanetly they aren't considered to be worth many points on the UCI ranking, which has made LvdH leader on that ranking.

That being said, the Belgian hegemony is mainly still in order because of 2 names: Nys and Albert
Pauwels had been pretty crappy mostly
Van Tornhout has been pretty much top 3 mostly (and not much better)
Meeusen has been pretty unlucky/injured mostly
