I had some lovely news yesterday, while watching Omloop and saying "wow, it looks just like England in the spring" ie wet, miserable and muddy.
Midge, down off the south coast *waves* told me that TinkerJil has had her baby, and Our Andy is now father to a little boy called Teo (no, guys, you were supposed to call him Jean-Pierre, remember?).
Great news!
Well done Jil, first of many?! *laughs* And it was a boy, as correctly predicted here on this blog!
Omloop, meanwhile, was a cracking race, despite the truly 'orrible weather, and the numerous crashes: Sky did fantastically well, with three riders in the top 11 *laughs*, two in the top 3, and one coming first.
Well done to Stannard for actually holding off Greg van Avamert (who was nearly in tears at the interview afterwards) to take the win, and to EBH for sticking it out, playing an excellent tactical race, and coming in third: and special greetings to Schlecklander pet Luke Rowe, for hanging in there with the third group, and coming a very respectable 11th. OK, 10th would have been better, but it wasn't a UCI race, so there weren't any points at stake.
Today it's K-B-K, we don't know yet if we are going to get any coverage, so we'll have to wait and see.
So, much celebrating in Luxembourg this week, with more babies due in a few weeks!
