Just got back from the gym in time to catch the final ascent of the Mur. Looks like Evans went too early, should have stuck to wheel sucking and then jumped at the end. I was a bit worried about how Rebellin made it look easy (was watching a dodgy online feed) but glad to hear he was looking fecked during the interview. Hope he's not faking!limerickman said:Rebellin looks tired - on the TV interview - refreshing to see a winner who's tired and breathing hard.

Also looked like Evans had a problem with his gears on the last corner, either they skipped or he fluffed a gear change? Might just have been my dodgy feed.limerickman said:Rebellin was breathing hard - sweat pouting down off his face, during the interview.
Agree about Evans - he did go too early.
***********, Cunego was third! This was the first time my prediction got even remotely close (after 2005 when I "predicted" that Armstrong would win the Tour...)RdBiker said:I'll go for Cunego too. Valverde would be my bet but since he's targeting the Tour I think he hasn't prepared well enough for the classics. Andy Schleck should be better in July too.

What happened to Valverde? I thought his "kick" would've made him a favourite in the end if they came in together.

It was before Schleck and Rebellin came past him. Well, if he needs an excuse, I just made one up for him.limerickman said:Evans didn't (couldn't?) react to Rebellin or Schleck for some reason.
I didn't see if he slipped a gear or not as I was too busy watching to see if Schleck was going to close down Rebellin.
Just back from work. Missed it, but will watch summary on Lux news. Looks like my prediction almost went true )adamastor said:Andy Schleck will be the man...
Sorry if I missed what you meant, or if I did not explain correctly, I said Kirchen will not win because he is lacking the kms, i.e. he's missing training units back from injury.Eldrack said:I don't think lacking kilometers will be an issue....
