    i wouldnt keep j-rod,look at his result in amstel gold,far enough he won fleche wallone,but thats only because he likes the really steep finishes,liege is about the longer climbs

    schlecks prefer liege-bastogne-liege to the other ardennes classics and have always performed better here than the previous three classics.And if your stuck with which one to pick well…..andy has won liege before and has said before he would really like his brother to win it,and also you can see in video’s from last year he did most of the pulling on the front,and also led out the sprint for schleck(the less said about that the better).

    hope this plays on your mind while picking transfers ;)

    Seems your trying to put me off my game, been as though I have F Schleck…..although I think I will still axe him and execute my planned team…including sticking with J-Rod

    Its not one of my wind up’s, i’m looking at Valverde aswell

    But Henao is not on my radar, he was in my team for Amstel and on my shortlist of FW, not this time

    My personal choice for the win is Valverde and the young lad from Sky – Henao. He seems quite suited to these type of races.

    This is prob. a Gkam style wind-up but….

    Valverde on Twitter: My legs are not yet as well as I would like them to be but I hope to be better on Sunday in Liege!

    But you never know with him!

    Henao – cheap, if you want 3 expensive stars as I did last time with Duarte. (Couldn’t quite afford Henao or I would have had him but I think LBL might be a bit too much for him.

    Dan Martin looks interesting but I don’t think I will have the points to select him.

    6, 3, ?
    Seems to be a progression. More worried about whether to keep Purito now he’s won. Martin does look interesting along with Cunego. Both quite pricey though!

    Ok, if I’m right, the following riders are returning for LBL and did not race La Fleche, at least they appear on the game start list as participating:

    Damiano Cunego
    Simon Gerrans
    Johnny Hoogerland
    Roman Kreuziger
    Samuel Sanchez
    Michele Scarponi
    Thomas Voeckler

    Any other big names missing?…

    Would imagine Scarponi will be pretty goosed too after todays EPIC climb in the Giro del Trentoni! Along side Cunego and Kreuziger, it made my wince just watching it! So cant imagine he’ll he at the top for the LBL! I could be very wrong tho!

    Great nickname for them at the moment as they look like they are cycling through swamps and not on roads, but then these are just warm up races for them, they dont seem to be targeting the wins

    I wouldn’t bank on Cunego and Kreuziger 1, showing up and 2, putting in a decent performance because of their efforts the last couple of days in Trentino. It doesn’t finish until Friday with both of them being in the top 5 in the GC, i don’t see them leaving the race early

    I also won’t be bothering to pick up Gilly for this race, too expensive. I’ll be going for someone much cheaper 😀
