    Ah, trying to pick a purist team for the all three of the Ardennes classics. The history books say Gilbert is a given, his form however says the opposite.

    In football they say form is temporary, class is permanent but I don’t buy that when it come to cycling. How about you?

    And as far as BMC being a gamble, well, there’s 3 BMC riders in the Top 15! Gilbert, Van Avermaet and Wyss! It seems to me that at least Van Avermaet has been pretty consistent this season…

    I know BMC have underachieved so far, but I feel like thats down to having too many potential leaders (Hushovd/Phinney/GVA) in one team. If they unite behind Gilbert for the Ardennes, as they surely will, he will do fine. First name on the team sheet for me…

    I’d say he’d probably be the most popular rider for purist teams,perhaps slightly less so for standard at least until people see how he goes at Amstel.

    For me he’s a must at that price.

    He didn’t have the form last year and would still have been worth it for his points. Had he been 40 credits this year then maybe no, but at 28 credits he will be in my team
