There are two Belgian cobbled classics happening this weekend: the E3 Prijs Vlaanderen-Haralbeke on Saturday and the Gent-Wevelgem on Sunday. I don’t have time to write about them both and have decided to write about Gent-Wevelgem. However, here are some link to articles with previews of the E3 course, race, and riders attending.
- CyclingNews has an overview of the controversies surrounding the race this year
- Podium Cafe is running a prediction’s game and has some comments on how to pick a winner
- Pavé has a run down of this year’s favorites
- Velonation wrote a piece about how the date change of Gent-Wevelgem could be the death of the E3 (Gent has been moved from mid-week to the Sunday before Tour of Flanders)

- Check out Wikipedia for some history
