75th La Fleche Wallonne 201km Wednesday April20nd 2011

[Barrus]

Great win by Gilbert and as last sunday, quite impressive by the team of Lotto.

However this edition of Fleche was quite boring, they really should do something to change the race, just so that it does not end in a sprint at Huy

ANDY????? Surely not

 

[hfer07]

Is he going to do the "triple crown" of the Ardennes? -damn i'm in shock!!!

 

[Parrulo]

now if he doesn't win luik i bet he will be one big grumpy bear for months (in a good i am ****ed off way not on the i am going to whine like a baby way)

wtf, I feel so cheated. Feed cut out with 2km to go and I couldn't get anything else to load.

I was watching on teamskyfans and just chose the next link, which came up fine. I like the way Dim does the site because you can switch feeds from the same screen you are watching on.

Lbl

Waiting for big fight in LBL

Gilbert vs Vino

 

[Squire]

It must have been Fuglsang. If Andy managed to pass the whole peloton on the Muur to finish 4th, he will destroy them in Liège.

Same here. Fvcking bull****. almost started yelling at my screen in class

 

[Havetts]

Wow.. Gilbert, im having troubles finding words for this. =/

 

[ferryman]

Fantastic Gilbert. No way Andy got 4th must be wrong.

 

[Ferminal]

Well that was rather underwhelming, seems none of the Armada had it today.

Credit to Gilbert for winning on a finish like this where most of us probably wrote him off.

 

[Rocksteady]

Dim. Any chance for Youtube highlights?

 

[Cobblestoned]

Wow... Andy?!?!

Did he suffer a mechanical within 2kms of the Mur and still come back and claim 4th? That would be impossiple.

Looks like he still got 4th, if first results are correct

Thank you, Andy. But my prediction is again far from good anyway.

I was watching it as well. None of the other feeds wanted to load. It's okay. I'll watch a video of it later. My fantasy team took a huge point hit today. I expected Gilbert to save some for Sunday.

Mur wasn't ridden as hard as last year which meant it suited guys like Vino and Gilbert more than JR, CE and AC.

 

[Granville57]

L-B-L just became that much more intriguing.
Gilbert was awesome!

Feed went nutty in the final K but was fine for the last 300m.


"Raboshank" is a keeper though.

ya it did look rather slow till the moment where gilbert attacked

still doesn't take anything away from gilbert. just absurd what he did

 

[cobblehead]

impressive win by gilbert

a bit unexpected for me though (even with his current form), always thought the mur of huy was to hard a nut to crack for a rider like gilbert...

on to Liege - Bastogne - liege and the triple! Last one to do that was rebellin, no?

 

[theyoungest]

Jesus H. Christ, how good is Gilbert at the moment. The King of the Hill(s).

 

[step23]

A new Mega Star is born...

 

[jobiwan]

They really do need to do something to make the whole race more exciting, just what I don't know.

With respect, that's BS.

 

[Moondance]

Well... This is progressive of the organisers. Very good of them to put the female presentation in the TV broadcast as well.

Chapeau to them.

of course, i love gilbert, but it was more bunched up in the finish.

+1.

Yes. I want to see some highlights.

Thanks.
