Have Sporza not got some highlights? Or if you have access to the Bike Channel then they'll probably have a highlights programme sometime during the week. They usually repeat the races several times.

At home with the family Van der Poel and Grandad Poulidor.
With a little bit of Rabobank teammate Sven as well !

World Champs this weekend. Sven reckons it's very technical.

Big British chances on Saturday morning in the Junior Men's race with Tom Pidcock and Ben Turner. Dan Tullet is also on the start list. And then Evie Richards defends her U23 Women's title at lunchtime.

Would love to see a Belgian sweep in the Elite races with Sanne and Wout but it could all go Dutch. Exciting stuff!

Woah, both races were great. Great to see Sanne in the rainbow bands although I was hoping Verdonschott might nick it at the end. And Wout's save and then going shoulder to shoulder with MvdP. And then MvdP's dismount in those switchbacks. Wow!

What happened to Nikki Brammeier? Did her back wheel come out?

Belgian press reporting that Wout will ride less CX races in 2017/18 so he can extend his season to also ride next year's Spring Classics. Aiming to try Omloop, Flanders, Roubaix, etc.

Less or fewer?

I thought that if it's discreet and countable it's "fewer" - as in "fewer pedants commenting on my English"

or if it's indeterminate it's "less" - as in "goddamn, I wish there was less pedantry on this effing forum"

Besides the Telenet Fidea juggernaut, what else are the teams this year. Does anyone have a roster or a link to the roster of the teams?

Ever since Albert and Sven retired I'm all discombobulated and have not clue who's who. Besides Wout and the Dutchie
