Nuyens looking to repeat sensational spring of 2011
Belgian says Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne u🌠nlikey
Having made it back-to-back race wins at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Dwars door Vlaanderen and then the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour of Flanders just over a week later in 2011, Saxo Bank's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nick Nuyens believes that the w🅺inning formula was struck wiꦰll look to do the same this coming season.
Speaking to Sporza at the Saxo Bank team camp in Israel, Nuyens said tha💧t although this plan will again likely mean missing Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne – two🉐 races he won in 2005 and 2006 respectively – his overall focus must remain the De Ronde.
"If I win the Tour of Flanders again then the decision was easy," he said 🍷before conceding he will be one of the favourites for the race.
"Just as I'll be different throughout the year and I will be different at the start of the Tou🦩r of Fl✨anders," he says.
"I've ne🥃ver focussed entirely on the Tour of Flanders, but it's the race where I'm at my 🍃best.
"I will focus this year on the Tour▨ [of Flanders], but all races in this period interest me. If I can get a win, t▨hen that's fantastic. There are plenty of opportunities."
De Ronde has finished in Meerbeke since 1973, but the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:finale will be altered in 2012. The r🌳ace will no longer tackle the Muur van Geraaꦜrdsbergen and the Bosberg and will instead finish in Oudenaarde.

Nuyens recently told Cyclingnews that the changes to the parcours means that in some respects t168澳洲5最新开奖结果:he race will be an unknown quantity.
"It will be a new experience for everybody, the spectators and the riders," he said. "Three times up the Oude Kwar🌜emont and Paterberg will be hard. The atmosphere around will be really special there as the spectators can stay there." Previously the Muur was the popular heart of the race, but was only climbed once.
