Julian Alaphilippe second. That's cool. Glad he's having another successful classics season.

EQS are crazy strong in the Ardennes with him and Dan Martin.

Let's see if they can turn numerical advantage into disappointment as regularly as on the cobbles.

I missed the coverage of Fleche yesterday. However, I have seen the numerous climps of the final minute or so up the Muur.

Have I basically seen the whole race or is it worth watching the last hour or so?

Lol.

Just re watch an old paris roubaix. Better use of your time.

only if you want to be really bored for an hour, possibly the most formulaic race there is

Froomey looking forward to L-B-L

His tweets generally make him look like a moron.

If it's shithouse weather i bet he'll do about 3 hours then hop into the Sky wagon and leave it to Kwia.

I figured his missus did the tweets.

^ haha I'd think they'd be more passive agressive

Thank you for updating on that.

Surely LFGSS requires the neige-Bastogne-liege pun to be made?

The new 'Ma-Endo' model has it's first roll out

Mass googling of 'niege'

new climb looks a picnic

New form of race vehicle interference - helicopter blows barriers into riders path in Tour of Croatia

'Mamma mia' indeed.

Hopefully it'll shake up the race a bit.

Stockeau is out of LBL which they reckon won't have much of an impact. Shame though as it's a total fucker and good to watch

Looks like snow is sadly out as well.

Yeh, cold and windy, headwind on the way home is what i heard.

Something i read on cyclingnews said that headwinds back to liege may make it even more conservative - so 250km or so of everyone playing safe and riding in the bunch then 15mins of carnage. Yawn

Attacking into a headwind is a mug's game. Sadly.

Nothing wrong with Fabianism.

Jon Tiernan Locke back in action at the Cicle Classic today.

At least he did proper doping and none of this mechanical bullshit.

Was thinking about going and watching cicle classic. Man that was a brutal race.
Would be good on TV.
