Have to disagree about it not being a technical course. Sand is very technical to ride. You only have to look at what happens to any UK based GB squad rider at Koksijde. The grass looks twisty tech too, especially in the wet and they will be avoiding using mud tubs no matter what.

I was echoing what seemed to be the consensus among Sven Nys, Lars Boom and Niels Albert, and from what I saw in the preview last night and the video on the previous page I agree. Of course there are technical features, and sand is hard to ride, but on the whole it's not one where the technical riders have a definite edge

Same. Last night when I saw the preview of the course with the giant ramp to sand I was thinking to myself 'maybe he should do a 360 into it on the last lap'. oh well.
It's a power course, not technical so much, so there should be a nice battle...
