A little over 30km to go in the Omloop, mostly considered the true start of the cycling season

Valgren wins, Astana had a magical winter, already 5 wins this season and all from different riders

Valgren wins the real first race of the season 

I missed most of the race but considering how big the group was at the end it seems like this was a really disappointing edition of the Omloop. Also, why the hell did they change the course. The old Omloop route was great and basically always led to great racing. No reason to include the crucial points of the Ronde in every single cobbles classic only because they are now not crucial in the Ronde anymore.

The opposite, really  

 

It was exciting until the end, with a lot of attacks (much better than in previous years).
