Picking Up Lunch
As the announcer for Cycling.tv said, it is now Spring in Belgium, at least as far as cycling is concerned. Most of the ProTour teams were joined by numerous Continental teams at the start of the first of the northern cobbled Classics and what has oft been considered the start of the European racing calendar. One of the domestiques for Team Sky gave a quick hand gesture as he slid over to pick up as many musettes for his teammates as he could. The peloton was being lead by the new colors (and new name) of Team Lotto Jumbo NL. Tucked onto their wheel are the new boys hoping to move up to ProTour status, Team MTN-Qhubeka.
