Juan Antonio Flecha wins Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. Hot damn. Sky just bagging one right out the box. Read about the race at cyclingnews.com as well. Love this pic too: Gritty.
I picked Flecha as a dark horse, Snake tapped Heinrich Haussler for the win. He was damn close, that Haussler, 2nd by :35 seconds (Edit: I have also seen it listed as :18 seconds). Snake was right, the man is on form.
Flecha. The first Spaniard to take Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. Good on ya.
Flecha pointed to the sky before firing off his signature bow-and-arrow victory salute. He later explained that he dedicated his win to the memory of the late Frank Vandenbroucke, the 1999 winner of Het Volk.

Damn straight VDB has a Posse.
Dude. It’s on. Check out pavepavepave.blogspot.com for more interesting commentary as the spring progresses.
whats up Tyler Farrar in 3rd!! i see big things for our pale american friend
this spring is going to be insane!
“Sky’s the limit”
another almost for Tyler..
he needs to winning team like Wiggo did.
If I could get and hold that look on my face, perhaps cars would leave me the fuck alone, and leave a wide berth. Dude looks mean. MEAN!
it’s great to hold form. good to see it in advance, the skill to call it.
i’m slow, i’m fart. suck.
go to the buffet and eat.
get winter over.
Flecha, one of my most favorite bike racers out there today. He is a hard man, and does it right.
His face tells a story. Wonder if he has any molars left.
did he do his salute across the line?
is it just me, or does his helmet look like it has no vents, just plastic?
I’m guessing the vents are plugged as the day was cold and wet. Not a bad idea really and not rocket engineering.
And I think I’m a badass when I make a beer run in weather like that…
