È in programma domani 25 febbraio 2012 la ormai famosa gara di apertura del calendario belga, la Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. Giunta alla 67ª edizione, la ex Het Volk si propone come la prima prova davvero importante per saggiare lo stato di forma di chi vorrà puntare alle classiche del Nord.
Non per niente questa corsa – con partenza e arrivo a Gand – è chiamata il “piccolo Giro delle Fiandre“, poiché si affrontano diverse côtes che sono inserite anche nella prestigiosa corsa fiamminga e non mancano i celebri tratti in pavé.
Lo scorso anno a trionfare fu l’olandese Sebastian Langeveld davanti a Juan Antonio Flecha e a Matthew Hayman. Anche il nostro Filippo Pozzato è riuscito ad aggiudicarsela nel 2007.
