Between Oudenaarde and the Oude Kwaremont, the team bus pulled over, and the riders tentatively made their way out clad in every kind of protective garb you can imagine. It was cold and wet and windy. A few snowflakes even fell at the beginning at the beginning of the day. First on the menu: oude kwaremont. The plan for the day: ride the final 155 kilometers of Sunday’s Ronde van Vlaanderen. No shortcuts, no skips, no zigs when the course zags – just the route. Simple. It’s a Klier thing – keep it simple. And thorough. Eikenberg. It won’t look like this on Sunday. The Eikenberg is a complete mess on race day. Andreas Klier. Andreas is one of our favorites.

A Closer Look At Flanders: The Koppenberg

Andreas Klier, Dec 2010There are very few climbs in modern bike racing that can bring a bike racer to his knees.
