    Amstel Gold Race -18th April -257km

    I hope that it can be broadcasted because when the choppers and airplanes cannot get into the air we will be forced to listen to the radio....

    Should Rabobank send Freire to the Tour?

    Rabo announced a couple of days ago that Menchov, Gesink, Ten Dam, Garate and Boom are already assured of riding the tour. That's a strong bunch already if you ask me

    Should Rabobank send Freire to the Tour?

    If that's the case, the schleck bros can stay home too as they are both inferior in the mountains as in the tt to Contador. I believe the only rider who can possibly threat contador, without injuries or whatever, is Menchov. He has the climbing ability to stay with contador or lose just little...

    Amstel Gold Race -18th April -257km

    yes he didn't do well that race, but it wasn't an objective for him as it was for Gilbert yesterday and Gesink is another year older and the Brabantse pijl was then even before de Ronde van Vlaanderen. Now its almost 3 weeks further

    Amstel Gold Race -18th April -257km

    Gilbert didn't look that strong to me today, atleast not in the same league as Valverde, Gesink, Rodriguez I think. I'm getting really excited for sunday's race, I've got a spot at the finishline!

    Should Rabobank send Freire to the Tour?

    Both crashes last year in the Tour and Vuelta where not his fault, especially in the vuelta you could see that the rider in front of him crashed in a weird way and took Gesink with him. I think it's just bad luck for the guy, but wait for sunday then he will get that important win!

    Should Rabobank send Freire to the Tour?

    He's already starting at the Giro and probably the Vuelta for the Worlds, so I think that they should leave him out of the squad. Also in a flat stage and a a straight sprint he is not fast enough for a Cavendish in form. And I also believe that rabo should fully go for the GC. Because when...

    I think Gesink is gonna win this, rabo will send a very strong team for it. Btw first there is todays Brabantse Pijl, in which freire is the main favourite with Gilbert

    no, never have been and never will be

    Can Fabo do it?

    Valverde is for sure the most complete (and talented?) rider in the peleton, the guy can almost do everything. But I don't think Canc can compete with the best in the Amstel and LBL. In that races there are many more favourites than in the RVV and PR. And most of these favourites are still...
