Was this already widely known or is this actually BIG news today? Me thinks the latter, but I have slept on the occasional bombshell from time to time, only to think it a revelation months later when Cycling News finally got around to writing a thorough feature.

from CN:

Gent-Wevelgem will get a more prestigious spot on the world calendar in 2010 when it moves from the Wednesday after the Ronde Van Vlaanderen to the Sunday before it. The race will take the position previously held by the UCI 1.1-classified Brabantse Pijl

I didn't want to leave out anyone's favorite rider, but I had to draw the line somewhere. The top 20 fav's from the name to know in sports betting seemed like a good place to draw the line. And let's face it, if your guy isn't on this list he probably doesn't have much of a shot, anyways.

My bet? If Boonen takes Pozzato to the line, Boonen loses.
