gummibear Posted April 17, 2012 Share Bit off the latest posts on the thread but I saw this and couldn't resist. Should probably go under the 'Spring Classics' posts as a tribute to the great races. "The hardmen of Belgium, from the region of Flanders in particular, slogging it out for hours on end in the harsh northern climes, eating mouthfuls of mud mixed with animal waste from the ancient farm ‘roads’, surfaces which were never intended for fragile bicycle wheels to traverse, but rather wooden cart wheels to be dragged along by cloven hooves." http://www.velominati.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/tchmil1.jpg Just read the weather forecast for Sunday and it looks like this is what Liege-Bastogne-liege could look like.I want to go but i will rather watch it on TV if it's raining hard.

Have to do some stuff so gonna set the PVR, I like this event and I am gonna throw my name behind Nibali for a win, just cos I like him.! Secretly I think the event, with the Mur de Huy,better suits Valverde, but hey, Go Nibs.!

'Dale Posted April 18, 2012 Share Gilbert the Great gets a well earned 3rd. It rains on the podium. Brrrrr Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/114469-spring-classics-2012/page/22/#findComment-1636087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted April 18, 2012 Share When I saw Gilbert I thought he was going to jump off the front, he is lacking some form although things are getting better with each race 3rd is good form.To replicate last year's purple patch is near impossible.
