Amstel Gold
Kirchen seems to be doing alright and nobody is talking about him.

Re: Amstel Gold
Really tough call... As Amstel always is.
Rebellin, Valverde, Dekker, Gesink, Ricco, Kroon, Schlecks, Kirchen, Cunego. These are top favorites, in my opinion. And if I'd list outside favorites... I have no idea how long the list would be. My pick is Kroon.

Re: Amstel Gold
I am surprised that even the Amstel Gold website lists Astana as being based in LUX. Are they really registered in Luxembourg or something?
BTW, I was unable to find a readable profile of the race. The race site shows the profile as a banner, but it is almost unreadable. What is the maximum climb involved? |

Re: Amstel Gold
How does the course compare to the tour of flanders? Freire wasnt in the front group that day.
http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/200...v08/?id=results Weather for Sunday looks a bit dodgy perhaps. It should be largely dry for much of the race with some sunshine at times. However, there will be the risk of a heavy shower developing towards the end. |

Re: Amstel Gold
Last year Amstel was a fantastic race until 4km to go when party animal Schumacher dribbled off the front and the other clowns watched him ride away.
Unlike Liege where the whole race sucked except for the last 4km. Maybe they could amalgamate or edit the best bits from Amstel and Liege from last year into one good race and make one crap race with the leftovers?
