  • Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I am going to Omloop on Saturday, 1st time watching a live race outside of the UK. Is there a "watch live races" thread?

  • There's the odd one scattered around, but nothing definitive.

    What kind of info are you after? It's a great race for your first live European race, as it's far more low key than many of the other spring races. I would recommend you go to the start in Ghent as you should be able to get up close to many of the riders.

    It's a hard race to see multiple times as like a lot of the races in the area, it criss crosses itself as it goes over the same couple of ridges that many of the famous cobbled climbs are on. I'd definitely recommend you try and see it on the Muur in Geraardsbergen, as it'll be one of the definitive points of the race and you can leg it back down the hill to one of the cafes in the church square and watch the finish on tv.

  • This is the exact type of info I am looking for, thank you.

    We will start in Ghent and travel down to Geraardsbergen. I've seen there is beer and frites vans everywhere, also looks like carnival rides and stuff. Is there anything you shouldn't miss?
    How do I find the massive Stefan Kung inflatable? Any other fan clubs we should look out for?
