March of the Marmot

Gent - Wevelgem is billed as a sprinters classic. And unlike Milan - San Remo, it lived up to its reputation. Oscar Freire takes the win. More from CN and VN.

Over in the FGBC Pool, it was Hal's Nice Marmot with the big day. 4 riders in the top 30 (Zabel, Hushovd, Coyot and Usov) for 380 points on the day. El Presidente's Team F*ck Sympathy had Freire for the win but little else, and finishes 15 points back. Uli Kunkel powered by Karl Hungus (Adam) and That Good Sasparilla (Rachel) both cracked the 300 point barrier on the day as well.

As exciting as it no doubt was, what's more exciting is the fact that Paris - Roubaix is up next.
