Dwars Door Vlaanderen



Here we go. Dwars Door Vlaanderen means Across Flanders. And for the next couple of weeks, that's where our attention should be squarely focused. As far as the Spring Classics go, Flanders means bergs and cobbles. In othe words, it means good times. It all starts today with Dwars Door Vlaanderen and culminates with the Ronde van Vlaanderen, the second monument of the season, on April 5. In between there is the Vlaamse Wielerweek, a week-long celebration of cycling in Flanders that serves to wratchet up the excitement for the Ronde. The Podium Cafe has a brief preview of today's race. They also turn their attention to other important matters. Startlist here. Live coverage options here. Check back for Pool results later today.
