Galstudio's new handmade Flandrian Cycling Cap ... On the success of our Orangeman Cycling Cap, we had a  request for a Belgium cap. We had so much fun designing and producing it I'm glad to introduce Galstudio's newest offering; The Flandrian Cycling Cap! ... The Flemish cycling week starts with today's Dwars door Vlaanderen. And we thought it would be the perfect time for the Flandrian. The challenge was to find the right ribbon to construct the stripe. Honoring the great races with the

I think the only person happier than I was about Matti Breschel winning today’s Dwars Door Vlaanderen was Matti Breschel ... Don’t get worng: Pavé isn’t designed to be a prognostication site; I predict winners simply for entertainment purposes ... Being correct just adds to the fun; I won’t gloat—for too long, at least ... I caught the last 30 kilometers of the race during my lunch break with a friend who’s becoming a bit of a racing enthusiast ... Today was his first opportunity to

The build-up to the cobbled classics begins in earnest tomorrow with the 65th Dwars Door Vlaanderen.  Formerly known as Dwars Door Belgie and the GP Stad Waregem, this semi-classic begins the peloton’s re-acclimatization to the hills and cobbles of Flanders.  This year’s edition covers 200 kilometers, heading east from Roeselare toward Brakel, the hometown of the legendary Peter Van Petegem, before looping back toward Waregem.  By Brakel, the race has already covered 3 of its 12 bergs,

We’ve got a lot to get to today—let’s dive right in!  First, a brief recap of the weekend’s events: ... 1. While I didn’t come right out and say he would win, give me some credit for indicating that Frantisek Rabon was someone to watch for.  Yes, there were bigger names behind him, but at this point in the season, Rabon had to be considered a threat.  Aside from Rabon, Bradley Wiggins seems to be building quite nicely for April and May.  I’m eager to see how well he fares at

Was anyone else cheering for Brice Feillu to take yellow today? And speaking of Feillu, his brother Romain had the honor of being thrown out of the Tour for NOT doping (he wasn’t allowed to take medicine for his asthma and stay in the race) ... Yellow for little brother Brice would have been a nice cadeau ... Could Feillu continue to gain time as the race progresses? With a flat day tomorrow and a chance for some recovery, might Sunday’s climb to Verbier offer him a chance at yellow? Or

      What a race! I was able to watch the finale during lunch ... A true lesson in tactics as Quick Step completely out-muscled the competition ... Boonen looked as though he could win the race at any time, Devolder blew the race apart in the middle stages, and Van Impe hung tight to take the win ... Haussler continued to do what we've seen from him all spring, and Niko Eeckhout tried his best for another win, but in the end managed only 2nd ... If this is a taste of things to come, then
