Sep Vanmarcke (source Bell YpuTube still)Video: Looking ahead to the Tour of Flanders with Lotto NL-Jumbo
Teams are making their final preparations for Sunday’s Tour of Flanders, one of the highlights of the season – and, for a Belgian cyclist, winning it is the equivalent of an English footballer scoring the winner in the FA Cup Final at Wembley.
With three-time winner Tom Boonen out through injury, one of the riders upon whom hopes rest for a home victory is Sep Vanmarcke – the 26-year-old was third last year when Fabian Cancellara, also missing this time round, got his third victory.
Vanmarcke is one of the riders featured in this short video from Bell, helmet supplier to his Lotto NL-Jumbo team, the fourth in a series airing this Classics season, and you’ll find much more information on their website.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Thank you for the links. But, not sure how to react to the rest - I don't know where the quote is from or who has written it... But if I understand...
I guess what is disturbing is that the average price of tires are getting far out of the realm of reasonable. Even with these 7 tires the average...
Love my Lights and Motion lights. But it's not 2010 anymore. Many Chinese lights are better for half the money, without safety issues. Keep in...
Enjoyed the humour in your write up. Stunning paint job too. Loved the glasses will provide" "a better view in the peloton." Cheers!
Glad to see the BBC is still doing a bang-up job of alienating left and right in equal measure. Keep up the good work, Auntie.
