47th Amstel Gold Race (The maze) - Sunday April 15, 2012

[Moose McKnuckles]

How is this race a classic? It's basically a sprint stage.

 

[Frosty]

Thought i saw EBH near the front with a Sky guy on his wheel (would guess at Nordhaug). If right then it looks like he is working for the team today.

 

[Rocksteady]

Bardet and Howes both look strong. Two young riders with lots of potential.

actually surprised to see Howes in the break, with his top ten earlier in the week.

I've got hopes on him in the future.
