101st Liège–Bastogne–Liège - 2015 Fourth Monument - 253k

[Maaaaaaaarten]

With Astana, Lotto and Europcar all looking to go on the offence and with some rain this edition could be nice.

At least it can't possibly be worse than last year.

The gaps alreayd coming down quite a bit with Lotto and Europcar working. 3:15 now. The break will be caught pretty fast when the hills start coming, methinks.

The good thing about this race is that with her end it signals the re-start of real racing season after a 1 week rest break.

Nonsense.

Well, I guess it's true that your team is irrelevant this week.

You do know we're talking about the Ardennes, right?

Does anyone have a working non-georestricted link? The Steephill listed ones don't seem to like me today.

 

[LPP68!]

I usally find a few good ones at hahasport.com.

I know it's too early to tell but this race isn't looking half bad the way it's going.

Henao was 7th in La Fleche,Nordhaug was the first to launch the sprint in Amstel,they were there.Plus they delivered some entertainment for some people with their crashes in La Fleche,i don't think they were so irrelevant

 

[Yingge]

Thanks.

 

[jaylew]

That sounds pretty irrelevant to me though I'm not really a Sky hater, tbh.

 

[meat puppet]

astana should start firing men up the road...

and they did.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Not looking very wet at the moment

 

[Carols]

Astana certainly has plans, Nibali or Birdsong, I don't know which.

I don't know i wasn't expecting too much from them in the Ardennes,except Henao they really don't have anybody for this races,i think they did enough.

dont forget old boots, ie. scarponi.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Movistar react by sending the elder Izagirre up the road as well, so will be interesting to see who is most keen on chasing with Astana and Movistar both sending people into the break. Edit: and GreenEdge... getting interesting.

 

[Miburo]

Race already better than AGR.

What's with wellens? He looks cooked.

 

[burning]

Suprised that Wellens is dropped that early.

 

[hrotha]

Wellens

 

[Miburo]

Astana is setting up for a nibali attack in 20km orso.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Wow it's raining attacks. Some pretty decent riders attacking as well, e.g. Styby.

 

[burning]

Well, this is getting really interesting, looks pretty good for a great race.

 

[Velolover2]

It's actually quite existing for once!

 

[Matt92]

About 20 men in the lead now, with around 10 more chasing.

 

[The Blues]

Come on, Astana. You need to go full gas now.
