2013 Liège-Bastogne-Liège, 21/04/13 257km

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"..

er.. French magistrates have no authority in Belgium

He can be a good bet for 250 odds I think

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

Will he be given any chance by their team?
Do you realistically think he has a chance?

He was top 10 in AGR and he was in the good position for winning the whole thing , he could be a contender if he finds the right move again

What about D Moreno winning LBL?

I found a nice pic for the profiles of major climbs, thanks to inrng

Edit: Are there any official explanation about why they removed Roche au Fauchons?

No way. Lacks endurance.

 

[iZnoGouD]

How come he lack endurance if he finished 5th at Vuelta last year??

road works

 

[Netserk]

Recovery =/= Endurance.

road works

I guess it is a temporary situation if the reason is road works

Tbh this looks more likely to end in a bunch sprint than AGR. What's the profile of the replacement of Roche-aux-Faucons? (if there's any)

How many 200+ Km stages did the Vuelta have?

Not even comparable to Roche aux Faucons

Cote de Colonster seems to be a relatively easy climb, which means in a normal scenario 50-60 riders will storm Saint Nicolas. La Redoute will have to wreak havoc on the main contenders' teams, to give a small group of outsiders the chance to make the race exciting.

 

[iZnoGouD]

Ok guys, if Moreno wins I'll be very ****ed

Maybe we'll get action on La Redoute again. Last few years were really closed until Roche. I don't think it's necessarily bad that it's gone this time, let us see.

 

[Ferminal]

Yes, exactly. It's their own fault if they do nothing and Gerrans wins.

 

[Descender]

I'm curious to see what Kwiatkowski can do tomorrow.

 

[Netserk]

Solo from Redoute

 

[screaming fist]

Solo from Redoute

And beating the chasers by keeping just half a bike length on the line!

I'm curious to see what Kwiatkowski can do tomorrow.

he can make me win 200€ or make me lose 5€

Seems the pope is not sure of participating...injured.

Moreno had a great Vuelta. I think Fleche suits him better than Liege but who knows.

The invisible man. Whatever Katusha is paying him, they should halve it.
