    47th Amstel Gold Race (The maze) - Sunday April 15, 2012

    Gilbert, Cunego, Bettini all are genuine Ardennes campaigners. I mean, it's been a while since the last time a preceeding Lombardia winner was not in the mix for a good Ardennes campaign. maybe it's just me. Is Zaugg riding AGR btw?

    strange.. usually the previous winner of Lombardia would be thrown into the mix of favorites in anticipation of the AGR n Ardennes..

    Vuelta a Espana 2011 Stage 6: Úbeda - Córdoba 196,8 km

    noticed that too. tony martin had no need whatsoever to pull big time for the second group. unless, he was pulling for chavanel, whose red jersey was in jeopardy.. his potential teammate next season?

    Quick Step and Omega Pharma to Merge

    speaking of which, who's gonna be in charge of the team anyway? in most reports regarding the merger, lefevre seems to be the one who did all the talking and comments.

    Tour of Beijing - World Tour - Say what?

    until asian riders starting to break through the pro ranks big time, i don't see it happening, no matter how optimistic it looks. the only non-european riders who are making their marks at the higest level are the australians and the americans, who by the way, really deserve a world tour event...

    Philipe Gilbert Future Tour de France Champion

    he's an Ardennes specialist, which shows that he loves action packed races, adrenalines etc.. maybe he was too bored with the pace of the peloton today and "what the heck.. i'm going~!!" might as well get some points, even if it only 2 points.

    2011 Tour de France, Stage 12: Cugnaux - Luz-Ardiden, 209 km

    +1. that crossed my mind too. it was more of a "what if" questions playing in my mind rather than a doubt on samu's chance. but not taking into account of the price of samu's effort today, he can actually vie for the podium realistically now.

    2011 Tour de France, Stage 12: Cugnaux - Luz-Ardiden, 209 km

    understandable.. i jumped with joy when he crossed the line.. but then as i sat down and analyzed the situation, i'm afraid that he might have spent 3/4 of his tank for this Tour. kinda remind me of igor anton in the Giro. won on the mighty zoncolan, and disappeared the following days...
