    Ooops/ It seems like cyclingquotes.com [size=30]does not[/size], I repeat, [b]does not![/b] have a full startlist up at http://www.cyclingquotes.com/news/the_pressures_off_gilbert_ahead_of_fleche_and_liege/ and I cannot read through an article and not go hopelessly overboard and claim things that aren’t true, much to my dismay, as I have been so emphatically been pointed out to below. Look at the comments section to see for yourself how a grown man is humiliated by a huge dose of reality. #o 🙁 *sigh* My bad.

    That said, there are a stack of worthwhile picks at 3.0 for L-B-L – Meintjes, Arredondo etc. which makes the possibility of a full house of scoring riders even higher. It seems unlikely that they will win, but when picking a team of 8, it’s about more than just picking the winner.

    It’s a good question. On paper its great prep, if they had a few extra days to recover. but that was a monster last stage, whereas the other riders who did FW have 2 extra recovery days and no travelling. so my guess is that guys like pozz, duarte, machado, etc… all riding trentino +LBL are at a disadvantage compared to FW riders. It’s weird that so many are doing that double in fact! hum

    Will be very interested to see if 19yo(youngest rider on tour) Matej Mohoric(u23 road race champ) rides break of longest race of the year.. He rode his first break in Amstel Gold
    I feel there is some exceptional talent to come out of the junior worlds last year..Mohoric,
    Meintjes,Caleb Ewan(very very fast Aussie Kid, will ride for greenedge second half of year), Howson(also a TT machine).
    We already seen some of the talent, Alaphilipe was 9th.

    PCS doesn’t really have it together yet either. Nibali is not listed on their startlist for Astana, etc.

    Also, given that the Sky team in that list lacks Richie Porte, who has stated here: http://www.cyclingnews.com/blogs/richie-porte/ready-for-return-to-racing-at-liege-and-romandie that he is riding L-B-L it is definitely wrong.

    No it doesn’t, even cyclingquotes don’t claim that it’s a full start list for L-B-L – read the top of the list: “La Flèche Wallonne – Startlist”
