    Looks like the ruder is having a dirty protest.
    In which case, you are right and he is indeed ruder!! :smile:

    I didn't see it during the race, but saw it just now on eurosport replay. Cracking idea, and hopefully get coverage in the Belgian media

    Sorry guys. I doubt it a lot if it will get any coverage. Also, I'm afraid most spectators are ... euhm ... intoxicated to a level where they can't read what's on a banner, even if it's the size of a football pitch ! Good effort though ...

    The real value is not necessarily in the event itself (i.e. in the moment) but in the photos and videos and various media that will circulate in the aftermath as a record of the action to further highlight the campaign against Duchatelet.

    Hi mate - all feedback is good. I guess the question to ask is what, in your opinion, is the best way to publicise our feelings towards RD in Belgium?

    @falconwood_1 goes to this race every year, so took the opportunity to purchase his own banner and make an attempt at getting some publicity in Roly's backyard while he was there. The Belgian media through social media was the obvious target, rather than the people on the roadside. Good effort.

    We're coming at you from all angles Roly, you bought the wrong club.

    I thought I saw a familiar banner when I was watching this earlier, absolutely superb.

    Don't know if there are any/other plans but Liége-Bastogne-Liége on the 23rd of April would be an obvious target considering the race starts and finishes in Liége. Could even get some Standard fans in on it maybe?

    Or any of the other cobbled/Ardennes classics for that matter considering the huge following that cycling has in Belgium.

    Top work.

    I may be going out to the Tour in the summer - if so will happily take a banner with me.
