Wout van Aert is only here making his debut in the cobbles this season. He's opted out of the Opening Weekend where the team thrived, instead building his form at Tirreno-Adriatico. His third place at Milano-Sanremo suggests his form is reaching it's peak, and with Flandres and Roubaix in mind he will be looking to deal a psychological blow
The Dutch team is bringing in it's prime weapons. Christophe Laporte rode alongside van Aert to victory in this race last year and his form on the Opening Weekend suggests that he will be at a similar level this spring. The team includes Dylan van Baarle too, Paris-Roubaix winner, who has won Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and gives the Dutch team a big sense of depth.
That comes mostly as even the fourth and fifth options are reliable contenders for a victory depending on the situation. Tiesj Benoot and Nathan van Hooydonck finished first and second at Kuurne - Bruxelles - Kuurne and can deliver the same kind of spectacle here. The lineup is completed by Tosh van der Sande and Edoardo Affini.

leedorney15-11-2024 - Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024
- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024

- C’mon, they need this kind of gooey content in winter to stop readers switching off. Medias sowing seeds to provoke discussion and rumours that lead to a self-defined legitimacy to introduce undesired questions during rider interviews in order to boast delivery of “original” contentMistermaumau15-11-2024

- The reason you don’t see these type of websites often and certainly not in cycling might be that they die before you find them. But tell us about it when you’re done I’ll visit to check it out.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
