Omloop van de Grensstreek was held a few days ago and I posted my 4th win of the season by crossing the line solo and wining my 35 seconds after an attack with 6 kilometers to go. The parcours covered some of belgiums most famous territory, by looping round the battle fields of world war one then climbing the famous kemmelburg, which is the climb that had the massive crash on in Gent - Wevelgem and Jimmy Casper got personal with the cobbles a few years back.

Once again the peleton was greeted with rain which made a few riders crash and climbing the cobbles rather tricky, as we where heading back to the finishing laps the wining move of 9 riders got away and with some encouraging words from my team mate and myself the break stayed clear of the peleton. On the finishing circuits not to much happened I put in a attack on lap 2 but that came back so I think everyone wanted it to come down to a sprint finish apart from me, a few other riders started to put in a few attack but it all came back and then with 6 kilometers I got a away and rode in to win the race.

My team mates rode great and we where amongst every move on the road, we rode at the head of the peleton and stayed out of trouble at the most dangerous times and got through the race with out falling.
