Really was worried before the start of the season that they would struggle for results, certainly hasn't been the case.

14th? I thought Amstel Gold was next, then L-B-L the following week with the La Flèche Wallonne in between.ft_critical wrote:Strap yourself in for Lige - Bastogne - Lige on Sat (14th), can't wait...

Hmm, it was supposed to be a joke. But it has failed. Cycling news had the amateur version listed with the spelling above. Now they have changed it to Liege - Bastogne - Liege Espoirs - yes really. Then I was going to tell you all, hilariously, about the spelling. Oh well.norbs wrote:14th?

Another excellent result for GE too. Albasini has more than earnt his way already.
Andy not all that happy apparently....
http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/schleck ... e-wallonne"Why does nobody attack?" said Andy Schleck. "Why does everyone ride for second place, eh? Because, if you don't attack and [Joaquim] Rodriguez gets to the bottom of the Mur in the front group that's what you will be racing for, second place.
Seems a bit of an odd thing to say given that although Rodriguez is a perennial contender last night was actually his first classics win.

Well done to Albasini and the GE boys again. Another win may not be too far away ?

Astana certainly provided the surprises this week.

The dashing Scott Sunderland was saying on air last night that he didn't think all was well within the team. Not sure if he was speaking with some insider knowledge or just came to that opinion from observing what we've all seen and heard.MichaelB wrote:Loooooove the argy bargy re KA not being there at Le Tour
