Last year was a crash ridden hard packed sand and mud race with a win by Kevin Pauwels. Jonathan Page was in contention for a top 5 finish, but crashed near the end and crossed the line in 14th. Top 3 placings went to Pauwels, Albert and Nys in a hard fought battle throughout.
With all the snow hitting northern Europe this week it may be a repeat of last week's snowy skirmish at Kalmthout. Included in this year's race is Lars Boom, and Stybar is back on the start list (will he start, and if so, will he ride the whole race?) after his recent knee issues. It should be another entertaining event with the best of the best scrapping away.
