Littering the roadsides in Wallonie is like littering a waste dump; it makes barely any difference.

Riders should demand a compensation for all flat tires those horrible roads cause, to get even for this, otherwise it's just BS.

i thought 1st april was like three weeks ago

 

[will10]

Did I read that right? 20 of last year's top 30? That would be pretty hilarious.

Hilarious, are they all Flandrians?

 

[Lanark]

It seems they'll go to any length to get Gilbert to win.

shows you they really are desperate with no more drug use in peloton. now they try to get them on ecological reasons. pathetic

I might've been asleep, but why did they ditch Côte de la Roche-aux-Faucons?

I'm quite dissapointet, in the very most traditional race of them all, you should'nt change the route now and then. I've thought the new toy Roche-aux-Faucons was ment to be a new playground for the next 5 decades, at least

EDIT: OK mystery solved

Some delayed road works if I'm correct. Next year, it will be back.

Yes just read that. What a relief. La Côte de Colonster will definately make a different finale.

Read this, Gilbert is one of those riders.

Anyone here going to these conferences?

 

[Miburo]

Reminds me of the french police stopping Contador for not riding with a light in 2011

 

[The Hitch]

Kirby is going to be commentating Liege apparently.

Hell be more out of his depth there than Contador

Wow you went there.

You'll see, Contador will have good legs.

I said this already many time but this time it's really true

yeah... it's basically all the top riders? I understand about the loitering, but prevent them from starting? I think it's a little over the top IMO. You can fine them big time for one thing. But then how are the riders supposed to discard their bottle and bidon? Maybe the organizer or this so called environmentalist contribute a motorbike with a trash bin running along side of the rider..

I wonder what the police's question?.. "Mr. Nibali, did you or did you not purposefully discard a teal blue bidon with astana logo at km 19, 30cm from the ditch with longitude 34º latitude 1º at the 14.00 hrs during the race of 2012 Liege Bastogne Liege?.. say what?..Guilty! Under the magistrate of French authorities we here by declare: "NO CYCLING FOR YOU"..

 

[Netserk]

He won't make the top-20.

Wanna bet?

 

[TomasC]

He won't make the top-20.

Wanna bet?

Sure he won't, he's going to work for Kreuziger

 

[LaFlorecita]

He won't make the top-20.

Wanna bet?

He will finish 27th. You heard it here first.

 

[Miburo]

He won't make the top-20.

Wanna bet?

What about this.

He'll attack in the last 40 km. Bet about that?

Make it 30 km if you want to.

I know some love to hate Kirby, but compared to Phil or Paul he's awesome. At least recently. Don't get me started on American packaging of these races.

What are the chances of Peter Weening?

He can be a good bet for 250 odds I think

Edit: I think Kwikatowski is a pretty good outsider bet for 41 odds
