Ronde van Vlaanderen and Paris-Roubaix (plus all the other spring classics) are my favorites.
I'm not that much into the GT's. They are usually one week of boring flat stages for the sprinters (okay, this years TdF was different), 2 or 3 mountain stages that decide the race and then another week of racing that has hardly any influence on the final top 10 positions.

Ronde van Vlaanderen and Paris-Roubaix are the best races to watch on TV. I use internet to get results from amateur races and smaller professional races.

I have this channel called Eurosport and I'm pretty happy with it. "Unfortunately" we have it in finnish, because I like David Duffields broadcast(is that a right word?)

I was in Belgium last spring and "De Ronde" is huge there.

There was one Finnish rider in Pesant Club Liegeoise and he's pretty good rider. I was staying in a same place with him last spring, at Hoeselt.

One of them said he rode nice. He wasn't up there with the best but was ok following the pace of the better noramal lads. My buddy said he was only over for a coupe of weeks and that he knew little of belgian cycling in advance with more experience in our type of cyling an d the routes he should be able to do better another time.

She he was ok or even good but lacked experience what showed in his results.
