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

[Moose McKnuckles]

BMC putting the screws to Valverde.

 

[dlwssonic]

Rojas should really win more for all the talent he has.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

let's not forget costa

or did something happened to him?

Movistar tweeted that Rojas and Visconti were their men up at the front. Don't know if they just mean the front few, or the whole front group though.

 

[karlboss]

Van Garderen doing some great riding for Gilbert!

was quite a pull and he looks good

 

[Bala Verde]

Freire and Mollema are moving to the front.

Hesjedal and Sanchez are there, just like (as libertine said) Rojas.

 

[happytramp]

Idea! Don't let the riders sleep the night before and then race them up a 3k hill. Bam,new classic!!

 

[dlwssonic]

where the hell is GVA man.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Rojas should really win more for all the talent he has.

Not really, he's a full-on jack of all trades, master of none, at the élite level. If it's a bunch sprint, there's always a faster sprinter or a better supported sprinter than him. If it's a reduced sprint, he picks up a decent amount of wins, but he won't beat eg Sagan. If it's a punchy finish, there's always a punchier climber than him left.

Hence he racks up the 5th places, but not many wins.

where the hell is GVA man.

Tejay's pace was too high for him.

Actually me and the guys I go biking with had a similar idea - go out drinking heavily for the night, and then race up a hill in the morning. First one over the top without puking wins

 

[dlwssonic]

Tejay's pace was too high for him.

Hes a monster man!

It sounds like he's positioned to be a TdF green jersey winner!

 

[SafeBet]

Gilbert looking stellar. BMC showing something at last.
But they need to finish this off.

 

[Highlander]

BMC may have strung out the peloton, but it is still a very large group. With the possible exception of Valverde, have any other contenders been dropped yet?

 

[vcampbell]

Waiting for Andy to attack and finish the race.

 

[Pantani_lives]

Jelle Vanendert also good, but can he beat the big names?

 

[dlwssonic]

Gilbert looking stellar. BMC showing something at last.
But they need to finish this off.

they have always been strong as a team in the classics. Just not able to finish it off.

 

[Moncoutie]

BMC may have strung out the peloton, but it is still a very large group. With the possible exception of Valverde, have any other contenders been dropped yet?

has Valverde failed to get back onto the peloton?

 

[Bala Verde]

Martinez (eusk) and Madrazo (movi) have been ejected from the race for failing to follow the official course.

 

[Pantani_lives]

Waiting for Andy to attack and finish the race.

Is he in the group? And Fränk?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Waiting for Andy to attack and finish the race.

He's got to lose Gilbert on the way ...

 

[SafeBet]

Scarponi in the bunch as well, fairly surprising if you look at Trentino.
T-Blanc back in the peloton.

 

[Highlander]

has Valverde failed to get back onto the peloton?

I don't know, I was hoping that someone else could tell me.
