Summary

The first cobbled classic of the season, Omloop Het Nieuwsblad Men and Womens races on a cold but dry Saturday in Belgium. Would the favourites Quickstep and SD Worx be too strong with multiple leader options or could an underdog win? Would the Muur be too difficult for sprinters to make it into a reduced bunch? Both were certainly exciting races with plenty of tactics to discuss.

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast with Benji Nice and I'm obviously back in the
0:05.5	living room not in my green screen environment. I've just had a mind a meltdown with internet
0:10.4	connection issues at 3 in the morning so bear with me. But anyway we're here for Omu Pat Noisplatt
0:15.9	Men and Women's Recap as well as the UAE to a Stage 7 Recap. It's going to be a big podcast,
0:22.1	make sure you download it on your Wi-Fi not on your your data plan because you may exceed
0:28.4	whatever megabyte gigabyte limit you have. But if you want to check out our show partner,
0:34.1	Look Hole, they're at the link below www.lecl.cc. You may have seen their kit on Drops Look Hole
0:42.5	Conti Cycling Team in the break today at Omu Pat Noisplatt Women's. Pretty nice kit we mentioned
0:48.4	it yesterday on the podcast. So go and check them out at the link below if you want to see any more
0:54.2	of their stuff. We'll pick up some of their kits for yourself. But first Omu Pat Noisplatt Men's Benji
1:00.2	100 or 201k star course. First half, it's not so difficult. We had 9 Pavey Sectors,
1:08.9	the last of which was the half book at 162kz in 13 climbs. The main ones, the Maulenberg at 158kz in,
1:17.5	so 43kz to the finish, the Murkappel Murk, 17kz to finish, and the Bozberg 13kz to finish. Those two
1:25.6	are 4kz from each other. So they're probably the main ones as well as the Berendry's 170kz in. But it's
1:33.3	not it's not as hard as Flanders Omlupe. That's why I quite like this course. It's quite balanced,
1:38.4	a sprinter can definitely win this race. And what it was, it was the conditions on the ground Benji,
1:46.4	you're the name on the ground, called in Boz in Flanders, or windy, what was it like?
1:52.8	Pretty average when it comes to the temperature, nothing too extreme on both sides, so not too hard,
1:57.2	not too cold, also no snow or rain really. I think the wind was also pretty mediocre. There was no
2:03.3	real proper wind to say, oh echelons were going to happen or anything. That was not really the
2:07.3	gaze on this beautiful day. So pretty average everything. It's not like I was expecting something
2:14.4	weather related to happen among the parkour really. Cool. Main start list or the start list
