Amstel is Gold, Jerry, Gold! Men's Classic One-Day Race, April 14, 2024

[Dekker_Tifosi]

finished the cyclo, can confirm that this would suit Mathieu. None of the climbs are actually long enough for a real climber I think. And it's so much uphill, downhill, corner. You are either going full out or in z1.

I would be a bit surprised if Leo van Vliet would pull the same antics as last year. But then, he seems to know no shame or remorse, so who knows. I'll be glad when he is gone.

While the race itself will be in different hands from next year, I heard Van Vliet will remain as director for two more years unfortunately.

Why would Hagenes be joint leader based on his number??

Either it's him being number 42 or Tosh van der Sande being number 47 based on these numbers are awarded.

I think though they've simply awarded those numbers in alphabetical orders with Milan Vader being 44 for M!

It's always alphabetical...

Vader must have replaced someone from the original roster.

For a closely fought unpredictable battle, tune into the us masters. Do not hurry and do not worry, and while you're here, take time to smell the flowers

Won't Scottie just win?

It could go either way: up or down. It can't go up, so it has to go down.

For climbers the best place to attack is with 40 km to go, on the duo Kruisberg-Eyserbosweg. The final chance to attack uphill is the Cauberg. After that it can become a tactical race. Perhaps Quinten Hermans can sneak away while everyone is watching Van der Poel.

UAE, Visma, Ineos and EF have good climbers, but not all of them have done well in the classics in the past two years. Hopefully some unexpected outsiders can get into the mix.

Listening to Irish people, you get the feeling they‘re drunk, but in reality, they‘re just Irish.

UAE, Visma, Ineos and EF have good climbers, but not so many of them have done well in the classics in the past two years. Hopefully some unexpected outsiders can get into the mix.

Amen. I mean amen-corner is where the us masters will be decided.
As for AGR, I'm resigned to Mvdp beating 7 lumps of SHlT out of the field and the most exciting thing being Gilbert on the motorbike going up the Cauberg. I'd like to be surprised though.

Time to bat. Let's go, Teuns!
