Liège - Bastogne - Liège : Sunday April 22th 201é

[nvpacchi]

Andy stating "Frank is leader" actually means I'm packing it in after 200km

 

[DirtyWorks]

Nothing is gonna happen at la redoute I guess?

Peloton is going to grind away at the gap to *exactly* the bottom of La Redoute.

As the British Eurosport feed is mentioning, there's more than one launch point. I predict there's not much going on until La Redoute.

 

[Christian]

The Lux one is almost live...but for now I'd rather be delayed...

Do you know that the commentator is Kim Kirchen? And another former professional from PostSwiss, Tom Flammang. For some reason I can't watch it, I always assumed it was geo restricted? But I always have trouble watching things on the rtl website. So I watch it on TV, luckily France 3 is broadcasting with Laurent Jalabert as commentator!

 

[Parrulo]

RAIN!!!!!

sounds familiar?

nice new add for pippo, no oiled body is certainly an improvement

 

[Bala Verde]

With Cataldo and Rolland ahead, Chavanel and Voeckler might want to try something.

They also don't mind rain.

rain is gradually moving in on Liege

 

[hatcher]

Just how do you pronounce Bulgac?

 

[El Pistolero]

Just how do you pronounce Bulgac?

Boelgak....

 

[Bala Verde]

Just how do you pronounce Bulgac?

I'd guess

[Bull-jacques]

EDIT according to Sporza it's BulGak (g as in garage or guitar)

 

[hatcher]

Boelgak....

Is that a soft g? Like Boeljak. Or BoelGak?

Didn't know Kirchen is the commentator...Laurent is good one, at least I can understand him...

 

[nvpacchi]

Piti looks like he's really struggling

 

[El Pistolero]

BulGak.

Was wrong about the "oe" sound, it's just "u".

 

[Nielsa]

I'd guess

[Bull-jacques]

EDIT according to Sporza it's BulGak

They're flemish, don't trust them on pronouncing names in Wallonie.
(Not saying I know whether they're right or wrong...)

 

[cineteq]

With Cataldo and Rolland ahead, Chavanel and Voeckler might want to try something.

Valverde might like his chances too, and get his 3rd one!

 

[hatcher]

[Bull-jacques]

Thanks. Another one I had wrong all along.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Lotto really want it this time.

For Jurgen or for Jelle?

 

[dlwssonic]

For Jurgen or for Jelle?

Jelle I guess, But Im not sure if both are strong enough to win it.

 

[El Pistolero]

He's Dutch actually.

 

[Bala Verde]

@Nielsa.

Maybe. But they often have talked to these guys and follow them closely, so I am guessing they know how he [bulgac] pronounces his own name

 

[Pantani_lives]

It might even be boel-gatch if it's an Eastern European name.

 

[nvpacchi]

Rain commencing

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Here comes the bad weather. The advantage swings to Gilbert and away from Purito.

 

[Nielsa]

I somehow thought we were talking about a place along the route, not a rider.
I'll shut up until I get home to my TV.

 

[dlwssonic]

Rain commencing

Muahahah perfectly suited for Gilbert.

 

[DominicDecoco]

This weather just drains the life out the riders.

Any favorites we know that hates weather like this?
