Amstel Gold (Spoiler)

[Keith Oates]

The race is now underway although not much has happened so far, let's hope some interesting moves will soon start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[redfox]

Is it being shown anywhere?

 

[Keith Oates]

cycling.tv if you are a subscriber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[redfox]

I am but I haven't used it since the Dauphiné Libéré and I cant even remember my user name let alone what flavour of password was in vogue back then!

Oh well.

 

[Keith Oates]

I'm also a subscriber but the internet is so slow here that I never get to any races lately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[redfox]

I found the quality to be fine, but the depth of content frustrating. I subscribed to their premium channel to watch the Dauphiné and was underwhelmed by what was on offer from then on.

I gave up when I found they wanted a further £30, for a different channel, to watch the Vuelta.

Just noticed there is nearly 2 hours of it on Eurosport later this afternoon (14:20).

Watching it now on French terrestrial TV... at the moment, it's marginally more interesting than watching the pouring rain outside. It looks a quick pace though.

They're up and over the 22% Keutenberg... making it look far too easy!

1 Damiano Cunego (Ita) Lampre 6.35.29 (39.051 km/h)
2 Frank Schleck (Lux) Team CSC
3 Alejandro Valverde Belmonte (Spa) Caisse d'Epargne 0.02
4 Davide Rebellin (Ita) Gerolsteiner
5 Thomas Dekker (Ned) Rabobank 0.06

Not the winner I expected but Steve Austin got close with his prediction of Frank Schleck. Could be the year when Cunego gets back amongst the winners again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

David Millar seems to be going through a lean patch at the moment, he was well down today at 74th and more than 5 minutes off the front!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was it just me or was it a bit of a tame race today could be adrenalin overload after Flanders and Roubaix I suppose.

 

[Keith Oates]

I think that even as spectators we have good days and bad days so what excites us today may not do so tomorrow. This could be the case with you and this race but for me it was OK although I would have thought it was better if one of my favorite riders had won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Flying_Monkey]

It didn't do much for me...

A poor 'Classic', always has been. Especially when you consider Armstrong could be up there at the finale of previous editions!
I'd rather watch the Fleche or Ghent-Welvegem, both are more of a classic than this Dutch-dinner!
