Sunderland: We are Ready
When Tour of Flanders kicks off on Sunday at 9.40AM on the market place in Brugge, eight top motivated Team CSC riders roll out to fight for a big result. Team CSC's Australian sports director, Scott Sunderland has no doubts: the team is ready to battle for the victory in the Flemish classic.
�We have a handful of riders on top form, and considering the previous cobble stone races, we know we're strong all round. Of course it appears that Tom Boonen is in a league of his own, and he'll probably be the rider everyone will be watching. We don't have any actual favorites, but we do have several potentials. Karsten Kroon, Marcus Ljungqvist, Kurt-Asle Arvesen and Fabian Cancellara are all in great shape right now, and they're very keen to sit up front on Sunday. I think our results lately justify a certain amount of optimism. In my opinion we have a very real chance of a victory,� comments Scott Sunderland about Team CSC's chances in the 258-kilometer Tour of Flanders.
The peloton has to climb 17 of the so called cobble stone walls � with Bosberg as the final one about 12 kilometers before the finish in the 90th edition of the race.
�Anything can happen in a race like Tour of Flanders, but one thing is for sure: only the strong survive. The finish is very tough and it will definitely be a great race to watch. The route is identical to last year's and we know it well, because it's extremely important to know every single turn. We have been out training on some of the strategic spots to refresh our memories, and also to make sure the riders are familiar with the route. We've done absolutely everything in our power to be ready so now we'll have to wait and see what happens on Sunday. Personally I think we'll go far,� Sunderland adds.
You can follow the entire race live on Norwegian TV2 from 12.30 CET.
