Well, George finally got the monkey off his back and won a big one after a long drought. He was supported by an incredible team, Stijn Devolder was great. Check out the results at cyclingnews.
Also watched the whole thing on cycling.tv which was great.
It's a good one but not exactly a big one. Paris-Nice is a big one, Amstel, Paris Roubaix etc. Although it is awesome to see George winning this early in the season.
??? Not sure if I would describe KBK as a big one!
It's a 1.1 where Het Volk is a 1.HC Last year KBK was a 1.2 and OHV was a 1.1 Most of the continental races moved up a category this year because of the ProTour.
KBK is still a semi-classic...I am sure George would have preferred a win on Saturday. With that said, I think it's more important for George and Discovery (or any team) to get the first win out of the way.
