Opening Weekend is comprised of two races. First up is Omloop Het Niewsblad, a lumpy, rough-and-tumble race, from which we’ve already put together our first mega tech gallery.

There’s often only a bike length from the door of the bus to the clamouring fans, which certainly makes it a little harder to get information out of mechanics.
