    It must be so soul destroying to cycle so far and so fast, only to find yourself back where you started.
    Anyway, should I give in to common sense and bring in Rodriguez and Gilbert to my squad for LBL? :0)

    I’m happy today, got a one, two, three 🙂

    Just waiting to see if it was Vanendert that came home in the top 20, if not i still get the 5 points for him 🙂

    Also, LBL runs a climb points, are there any bonus points for that?

    Edit : Vanendert 17th 🙂 and a surprise, Pineau made it home in 20th, every point helps 🙂

    The letour rider list only has 6 confirmed riders plus two reserves listed, so there’s hope yet

    there’s some confusion over
    there’s some confusion over J-Rod: he’s not on the official start list but he definitely said he was riding, and we haven’t heard otherwise…

    I would get Gilbert in for
    I would get Gilbert in for sure, i think Rodriguez is going to die a death and be lucky to get top 15

    I do the same Simon, take a nice slow enjoyable country ride and then sprint down the hill coming back into my village at speeds that have been clocked by police at 52mph, Just incase anyone sees me and thinks i’m fitting than i really am, lol

    Heh, that’s every bike ride I ever do (albeit shorter distance and slower speed) 🙂

    But I always try to put in a quick last km or two (a) to get the last couple of bits where the road kicks up over with and (b) in case anyone I know sees me go by, don’t want to look like I’m flagging 😉

    Which gives me an idea. Any pro seriously wanting to win LBL should make their home in Liege. Home comforts the night before the race, added incentive to get home as soon as possible afterwards 😕

    The next chapter of my stating-the-bleedin’-obvious coaching manual will be advising Lombardy-based Italian pros who can ride 260km and still keep something back for a sprint to buy a holiday home on the Riviera, just by the French border…
