75th La Fleche Wallonne 201km Wednesday April20nd 2011

[Thomsena]

Honestly? Yes, I'd expect the likes of Fränk Schleck to make early moves.

edit: not "expect" as in "believe it'll happen", more like "believe it's what they should do"

That's nonsense

 

[Cobblestoned]

I have no idea why I used to prefer the Ardennes classics over the cobbled ones.

Now you just have to indentify some culprits and possible mistakes to whine about, and your day will be perfect.

 

[hrotha]

That's nonsense

Explain why everyone should wait for Huy when only 4-5 people can realistically hope to win there.

What the hell do you expect? Contador, Frank, Andy and Gilbert to attack 50 km before the finish line?

Lighten up Frances! Things were slow, I was trying to be amusing. I think you might need more fiber in your diet, and maybe a good lay or something?

Lets hope the Lampre boys can get Cunego back on.

 

[TRDean]

That's nonsense

Whats nonsense is that the peleton is rolling around like a Sunday ride waiting for the finish. If Gilbert is so strong...or Contador...or who the hell other...then make the race as challenging as possible...not some wheelchair ride to the finish. Nothing wrong about wanting some actual interesting racing.

Maybe you need some of this?

I didn't know Fleche was a monument. Thanks Harmon!

I am an expert for automatic indentification, but wth does your avatar say ?

Kadri A Norman Conqueror

Well things seem to have picked up. At the start of the last climb, the break had 4:15 or so. Now 2:45.

I was actually having a hard time staying on my chair of laughing by your first post but then you cracked me up in the second one - I do not hope your third one will be half as funny cause i might get involved in an accident of falling of the chair.

Honestly, I don't get all the hate for Harmon here on cyclingnews. Yes, he does say a lot of nonsense, but you try talking for 3 hours straight and we'll see how much of it is interesting and smart.

Yeah, was time for the Harmon-damaged-people to come out, and complain about Harmon. You are late.
Thats pretty refreshing and interesting.

May I ask you, why you still follow this guy/channel, when he is so hard to stand ?
Some masochistic veins ?

Another satisfied customer.

Only stream in a language we can understand?

Anyone know who the Garmin rider is that is on attack with Kadri and Grivko?

Edit: nevermind it didn't develop.

Of course I want an interesting race. But in a race like this with few favorites, a breakaway up front in perhaps too little interest from the other 20 teams it's just too much to ask for. Races like these are usually getting interesting in the last 25 km - that's no surprise why all the 'it's boring' is getting old - That's what we could expect from a race like this.

i've missed that move but it doesn't matter anymore.

So the fact that you have to speak for a long time makes you forget basic cycling stuff like what the monuments are?

 

[superconfex]

You'll all be crying for Harmon when Kirby does the Tour of Turkey..mark my words

 

[spalco]

Well, yeah. Statistically, the more you say the more nonsense you say, and few people say as much as cycling commentators, so I'm forgiving about the occasional stupid comment.

the Mur really looks more frightening the more i see it...
