Three times in the washing machine and Thor’s World Champion kit still remained filthy after Saturdays race, Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. At the end, the team soigneur Gavin still managed to find another way to clean it…

Omloop Het Nieuwsblad kicked off the 2011 Belgian road classic cycling season.

Garmin-Cervélo had three riders in the top fifty on Saturday, Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, with Martijn Maaskant claiming the team’s best placing in 7th followed by Thor Hushovd in 33rd and Andreas Klier in 34th. The following day in Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne things were looking good as the race came down to a bunch sprint but Tyler Farrar got boxed in as the sprint opened up and manage 4th place.

Today Slipstream Sports presented a sneak peek of the 2011 Team Garmin-Cervélo jersey. You’ll have to wait until January to see the rest of it, but let’s just say that Castelli will continue to make the best looking kit in the peloton, while the Castelli Speed Research Unit has been busy making sure it’s the fastest gear in the peloton. Argyle has never looked so good.

Hushovd, in his rainbow colors, was the star attraction at Giro del Piemonte.

Road cycling world champion Thor Hushovd will take part in the Giro del Piemonte on October 14, and Giro di Lombardia on October 16, before ending a brilliant 2010 season.
