Minor Races Thread 2015 - [SPOILERS]

[rich p]

I almost started a thread to ask if the Yates twins had been seen this year, and before I could blink, the new 'improved' (yeah, right) Cyclingnews had a story up.

.... the new 'improved' (yeah, right) Cyclingnews .....

LOL - worra mess
actually, I was hoping The Clinic had gone down with the old ship, but after a bit of a sniff round I found it still fully functioning

I'm guessing Omloop Het Nieusblad is minor enough and goes in here rather than it's own thread:
8 riders have just over 6 minutes on the peloton after 35km, Matt Brammeier part of that leading group

Anyone got a stream for the Omloop, if there is one?

I don't think they start until 1ish

Looks like it might be available from 1.30pm via sporza according to steephill.tv

In the past it has had its own. I started the original Minor Races thread mainly for those 1.1 and 1.2 ranked events. But I think this is good - there aren't that many of us who follow the whole season here...

A break has now also developed in the women's event: Armitstead, Blaak, Pieters, Canuel and Johansson approach the Paterberg

And the leaders in the men's event reach the 1st stretch of cobbles.

Depending which twitter feed you view, there are 7,8 or 9 in the lead group in the men's race - and somewhere between 6 or 7 minutes advantage over the peloton

Better weather there than the drizzle in Brighton - Wiggins will be pleased about that

another language, sounds a bit like it could be Spanish - but this is only based on watching re-runs of Fawlty Towers
