yes Astana is registered in Luxembourg.TheDarkLord said: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?
You didn't mention Freire?...Andrija said: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.
Can Freire get up that climb with the GC guys and Rebellin?Crankyfeet said:You didn't mention Freire?...
Gregor Brown at Cyclingnews seems to think so... but I don't really know. I thought it had many climbs, but no real stinkers. It is in the Netherlands after all.Malkmus said:Can Freire get up that climb with the GC guys and Rebellin?
Oh don't know why I can't stop chuckling at this post...classic1 said: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 **** race with the leftovers?
I thought about him too, but the course is a bit hilly for him (his attacks in Amstel were always unsuccessful), his form is on down curve in this part of season and Dekker and Gesink are looking like better choice for Rabo.Crankyfeet said:You didn't mention Freire?...
Interesting choice. He has been quiet since having some good racing in the Paris Nice... I wonder...Bro Deal said:Cunego.
He did well at Pais Vasco, winning a really hard stage in awful conditions. He then did a good time trial the following day. He has to be in good condition.Powerful Pete said:Interesting choice. He has been quiet since having some good racing in the Paris Nice... I wonder...
