OK, I was never too concerned about the name change from het Volk to het Nieuwsblad (both good names) or when they still called de Panne a Driedaagse even though it got cut to a 1-day race (funny contradiction) but Oxyclean Classic WTF?!? This better not become a trend.

I don't think Billy Mays is in. He died in 2009.

His presence would be no more absurd than naming the race as the Oxyclean Classic ; ) Don't tell me that you're German, Zoot...

German, Swedish, Nordish, English, Scottish, Irish. Mostly English/Whales/Scottish. I love the sound of bagpipes.

That heritage assessment sounds like it came from same DNA kit that deemed my sister in law’s terrier a German shepherd breed. Not kidding lol. She asked for her money back.

O.C. Yeah, I have to go back about 5 generations before I come upon any Scottish ancestors. DNA is weird. Of course, I'm weird anyway....
