Thanks for the profile.
Another good race this will be.
Schleck was close to breaking through on Wednesday. Rebellin killed everyone. Evans doesn't have the kick. Cunego isn't exactly on song and neither is Valverde.
Valverde has had 2 races in strong company so should be prepared to take the win this time around.

Andy Schleck wins LBL : first major one day race win of his career.
Rebellin second and Ivanov third.
Waiting until 5.00pm (GMT) to see the highlights of this race.

It looked very simple. Attack on climb 17-18 km. before the finish, bridging the gap and than solo effort. No doubt he was strong today, attacked just on the right place, preventing stronger teams to organize the chase, leaving his two teammates with chasing group.limerickman said:
Pity for Gilbert, he was very good, but went too early.

Just watching the highlights on Eurosport now : AS looked very very strong.
It was a pity for Gilbert that his breakaway with 20-odd kms to go, did not succeed.
Gilbert is a brave rider.
Looking at the highlights now - after race shots : AS looks tired, being congratulated by Riis.
Frank Schleck looks tired as well.

Fair points : just emphasising that Schleck (today) and Rebellin (last week) both looked tired after winning their respective races.
It makes a change to see riders (winners) actually look tired at the end of a race.
That's all.

Nice guy as well. Shows you don't need to be a pig to win races. The guy will win at least 3 Tours. Can see him trying all the races out. All class.
