  The Tweedaagse van Antwerpen is about to start. This always means the new season has really begun. This race has a four-stage course and is raced over two days. The riders will race through the county of Antwerp and finish in the city that bears the same name. Known for its diamonds and beer this is a city of luxury and pleasure. So much the opposite of what the riders are expecting in the first stages.
  
  Three stages of cobble sections through the heart of the county passing small villages and crossing meadows of dirt on roads paved

with rocks the side of a child's head. These rocks are referred to as cobblestones. These stones are known as Belgian blocks and are designed to make life a living hell for all who rides on them with a bicycle. While passing the many villages in the county all riders are longing for the finish in Antwerp. And after Hoogstraten, Arendonk and Geel it finally ends in the city. The city of beer and diamonds where the winner can enjoy a glass of cold beer with his teammates and to watch his checkered jersey proudly wearing the mud stains from two days of ultimate survival in the Belgian country.
  
  Who are the

riders to watch; Drapeau Noir joined, watch his riders, every one. With the divine guidance of Julian Pope his youngster Cristobal Zubizarreta is a hot star in the making. Vojislav Bogicevic of Luveaucek is also an interesting rider that can score high.
  Surprise entry Reid Lenard of POM Wonderful is having last season's winner as teammate.
  
  Our money is on Drapeau Noir for winning a third checkered jersey.
