The early morning cloud cleared, and by the time the team buses were pulling into the start zone, the warm blue skies seemed to welcome the start of the European spring classics.
The field for Kuurne was largely the same as Omloop apart from one addition, the Wagner Bazin WB squad, who had secured an invitation to the race.
Some key standouts from the start were specific rider-fueling strategies and a spate of aftermarket brake rotors, which seemed to emphasize the competitive nature of the sport.
The spring classics are finally here, the weather is getting warmer, and we can look forward to all the exciting racing to come over the next few months.
