Fleche Wallonne Predictions

[mondobongo]

Another Wednesday another Classic who do you fancy in the Fleche Wallonne on Wednesday.

He was in the pack on Sunday so I am going to stick with Davide Rebellin.

 

[Noodley]

Valverde for the win.

Kroon to be in the mix.
Kirchen to show at some point.

 

[Steve Austin]

Tough to pick a winner for this. Schleck looked great on Sunday, but a race to far i think.
Ricco for me. 'crosses fingers'

 

[Keith Oates]

I'm going to stay with Friere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Flying_Monkey]

I'm going to stay with Friere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You just keep saying that everytime Keith, and sooner or later you are bound to be right!

I am thinking Gilbert might be high up again. Nick Nuyens has been pretty close a few times too and he'll do his usual slump in form soon, so he'd better hurry up...

 

[Keith Oates]

I hope I'm right this time,FM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tetedelacourse]

Cunego for me to round off a cracking 3 days.

 

[yello]

The last 40km are on the tele here (don't worry, I'll not give anything away!) but just to say it is very very wet!

 

[John the Monkey]

Cyclingfans.com has a link to RTL Luxembourg's coverage (small video, viewable by the media player of your choice)

 

[yello]

What a finish!!!!

 

[John the Monkey]

Yep - RTL feed stalled at the crucial point, but cyclingnews' coverage filled in the gaps B)

 

[Noodley]

Valverde for the win.

Kroon to be in the mix.
Kirchen to show at some point.

And that point would be at the end....

 

[mondobongo]

Good race with an exciting finish, god knows what the neighbours thought of the screams of pedal there behind you. Kirchen deserved the win after that burst. For a horrible minute or so I thought Evans was going to steal it.

 

[Steve Austin]

Evans in Second?

 

[Aperitif]

Good watching, despite the conditions...poor sod who misjudged his speed on one of the last corners (CSC rider - don't know who).

Two things: Why don't the motorbike cameramen have some sort of canopy arrangement to shield the lens from excesses of eau dear, and, can there please be a decent 'speedometer' or suchlike included with the on-screen graphics...or am I the only one interested in such trivial things?
