I had some fun with my teams - quite a few differences, whereas normally I keep std and purist very similar. So very unlikely that both will do well. Was tempted to check the break and make a late change, but decided that wasn't really cricket.

Because right now we know the breakaway BEFORE the deadline!!
Incidentally.....
This year's race is officially called Gent-Wevelgem, in Flanders Fields because the race follows a unique route through the area that was the setting of the First World War 100 years ago.
The race organiser Flanders Classics says it "wants to contribute to a fitting commemoration of the Great War and keep the memory of the conflict alive with future generations. As a tribute to the heroes and 600,000 people who fell in the Westhoek region."
UK clocks went forward overnight so not sure
Has the clocks going forward thrown out the transfer deadlines? eg this one says deadline is 11:25 UK time, but the race starts at 11:25 Belgian time. Just didn't want people to be able to make transfers once the race has started. Might be wrong, I'm not great on time differences, its all a bit confusing for me...
Oh fair does. PCS where the only site I saw with that and I have an affliction with making money from other peoples hard work....
Maybe from http://www.gent-wevelgem.be/en/elite-men/history/in-flanders-fields ...
Where is the "in Flanders Fields" coming from, apart from that abomination of PCS
Here is the official guide....don't go changing the name http://gw.pro.p.assets.flandersclassics.be/files/1062/original/FC13_GW%2...
