BREAKING NEWS: San Raflaanderrs Start moved back to 5:30pm.

PHRO cites conflict with local farmers market as reason.

Lodewick during the press conference

In a hastily called press conference today, Joos Lodewick, announced that due to a variety of concerns regarding local authorities and road closures, Sunday's Ronde vonSanRaflaanderran will start at 5:30pm instead of the scheduled 3pm start. According to the statement Lodewick read to the press, the primary issue was a concern for excessive pedestrian traffic on many of the course roads, an issue that riders faced in last week's Marin-Roubaix. 


The published timetable for the fake-race shows an expected finish time of between 7:30 and 8pm which should still negate the need for lighting systems, which was the primary reason for the scheduling change to a Sunday in the first place.


When a reporter from Sporza questioned Lodewick on whether rumors of the changed start time being an accommodation for Hushvod who reportedly has a family commitment that morning, a belligerently hostile Lodewick's only reply was "You know that your problem is?!?"
