"The Paddestraat". You don't like doing it, and yet you come back to it every year in spring because it remains the opener of the cycling season after all. Often you can opt for the gutter, but it's not really necessary.
"De paddestraat". Je doet hem niet graag, en toch kom je er ieder jaar in het voorjaar terug omdat het toch wel de opener blijft van het wielerseizoen. Vaak kan je kiezen voor het gootje, maar echt nodig is dat niet.
Done in the Ronde van Flaanderen edition of 2024 (159km). Basically, it is a flat area full of very annoying stones: I lost my saddle gear bag due to the vibrations, the zip opened and I sowed gear tubes
Fatto nell'edizione Ronde van Flaanderen del 2024 (159km). Sostanzialmente è un piattono pieno di pietre molto fastidiose: io ho perso la mia sacca strumenti di cambio del sottosella per le vibrazioni si è aperta la lampo e ho seminato camere d'aria di cambio
Beautiful climb (or say cobbled). Known from the Ronde van Vlaanderen and Omloop het Nieuwsblad, among others, but in reverse. Because of the long distance and cobblestones, you hardly notice it's a climb, you're mainly concerned with maintaining speed and steering towards the most comfortable sections. Here and there you may seek the gutter but the cobbles are in good shape so feel free to give them a chance :) Occasional downhill sections allow you to take the tension off your legs for a while. This was certainly welcome! Personally, the Paddestraat also feels heavier than 13 climbing points.
Mooie klim (of zeg maar kasseistrook). Bekend van o.a. de Ronde van Vlaanderen en Omloop het Nieuwsblad maar dan in omgekeerde richting. Door de lange afstand en de kasseien merk je nauwelijks op dat het een beklimming is, je bent vooral bezig met snelheid behouden en sturen naar de meest comfortabele stukken. Her en der kan je de goot eens opzoeken maar de kasseien liggen er goed bij dus geef ze gerust een kans :) Af en toe een stukje naar beneden zorgt ervoor dat je even de spanning van de benen kan halen. Dit was zeker welkom! Persoonlijk voelt de Paddestraat ook zwaarder aan dan 13 klimpunten.
