GP 'Poeske' Scherens
Leuven kermis started again last weekend with all its attractions and flower carpet, etc... And a good traditional kermis also has a cycling race "around the church tower" as we tend to say. Well the GP Jef Scherens is more than an ordinary local kermis race but is a UCI 1.1 one-day classic where the cyclers from several international teams turn 13 times around the circuit making a total 183 kms. The winner was Jérôme Pineau (FRA, Quickstep Cycling Team).
The race traditionally passes by our door but when the rain stopped we decided to start walking along a big part of the circuit....with the racers coming by all the time :) as well as the famous "Rodania" cars at the start of any cycling race, yet they had replaced their famous jingle with Flemisch schager music. Ugh.
