Memorial Samyn 2009
March 3, 2009 at 06:30 1 comment
Defending champion Philippe Gilbert will headline his new Silence-Lotto team for the Belgian midweek, semi-classic. The 199km course from Frameries to Dour often comes down to a mass sprint, with such riders as Robbie McEwen and the recently retired Magnus Backstedt as recent winners. The race is named after local pro and winner of the inaugural edition in 1968, José Samyn, who died in a crash the following year.

Hey. I like the team you guys have built recently. I hope you’ll do a good figure at Paris-Nice this year, and not only. And by the way, nice standings today for Colom and Karpets in the first stage. What I wish from you is to tell me how can I buy one of your T-shirts.. it’s an issue that bothers me since I found you as a team. I’m from Romania, please contact me via email. Thank you a lot and wish you lots of luck tomorrow and this week. Great team so far.
