2013 Fleche Wallonne (17 April)

How is Costa?

 

[vladimir]

When will the break be caught? Still 8mins at the moment.
15-20km to go?

If any team wants this to be a hard race, they will be caught earlier. However; there is no clear favorite for this race, and no specific team that on paper would benefit on a hard pace. So I guess thay might survive quite a while yet.

 

[jaylew]

I love the finish though.... one of the best finishes all year IMO

I'm with you. This is the one race of the year that I want to see a sprint finish. I'd hate it if a break stayed away. The finish of this race one of my favorite couple of minutes of cycling of the year.

Gilbert & bmc have some responsibility surely.

 

[iZnoGouD]

Gilbert is so far from 2011 form i don't think he will even top5

 

[Better Call Saul]

Gilbert is so far from 2011 form i don't think he will even top5

Agreed. Nonetheless he's the favourite going into the race.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Agreed. Nonetheless he's the favourite going into the race.

I don't see how. he s very unsuited to mur in general. only in 2011 he was able to win there. all other years he wasn't close to winning.

2012 he was 3rd

 

[Roderick]

He was far worse last year and he was still 3th

 

[Galic Ho]

When I check this tomorrow (no tv channel showing this Down Under and my net blows the last few months so no livestream for me) Gilbert or Valverde or some Columbian who doesn't ride for Sky better have won. Or Purito...if he is racing after his fall the other day.

Enjoy people.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

He was far worse last year and he was still 3th

but he wasn't close to winning at all.

 

[Panda Claws]

but he wasn't close to winning at all.

Still. Only Rodriguez did much better, so it'll depend for a large part on whether Rodriguez really is hurt by his fall or not.

 

[Juan Pelota]

anyone have a good stream?

 

[tomorrow]

anyone have a good stream?

might be georestricted though, but is possible that it isn't, as last time a stream that was georestricted to slovakia didn't work for me and this does

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I don't see how. he s very unsuited to mur in general. only in 2011 he was able to win there. all other years he wasn't close to winning.

How can he be unsuited to Mur de Huy when he has done the fastest ascent ever?

 

[Miburo]

but he wasn't close to winning at all.

and the competiton this year is way tougher.

 

[will10]

How can he be unsuited to Mur de Huy when he has done the fastest ascent ever?

Cos Ryo says so.

 

[TANK91]

So guys do you think Contador will go for it today?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

How can he be unsuited to Mur de Huy when he has done the fastest ascent ever?

what does that matter? in 2011 gilbert was in ridiculous form. he's not anywhere near that so you can just as well forget that ascent

 

[Descender]

Just be done with the bloody Tour de Azerbaijan already.

[wwabbit]

I can't wait for the Tour of Azerbaidjan to be over.

 

[ILovecycling]

Hope Quintana will attack from the bottom,coz Piti won't attack before 100m to go.I wonder how Henao will do,he looked very good in Amstel despite of crashes
And of course Saxo fireworks before the Mur

How can you just forget it? I think your missing the point, Purito is probably not as strong as last year and Gilbert is much stronger.

Yeah,almost worse than My name is Tyler Farrar....blabla
