Monday Musette – Omloop Het Nieuwsblad Edition

Posted on March 1, 2010 by

Photo by Van Wichelen. In hindsight, going to NAHBS on the weekend of Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne might have been a bad idea as it prevented me from providing you the most up-to-date commentary on the weekend’s action. That said, last week was probably to most popular and well-read week in Pavé’s 1-year history—for that, … Continue reading →
