Back? He could attack at any point during the race last year and still win  He's still far from that form.
Yeah, not last year's form, but he's strong enough to win FW or Liège I think.

Gasparotto did absolutely nothing in the past year, and now comes from nowhere to win the Amstel Gold Race. What is this I don't even.
Maybe he didn't do anything last year, but in 2010 he finished 3rd. |

I'd say he needs to be much better for FW, that's the one that suits him the worst.

If it's any consolation to you, I don't Nordhaug had any chance to win this.
He was sitting on the wheel of the winner of Amstel 2012 He could have won it possibly and was looking good...

That's hindsight for you.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gilbert skips FW and leaves that to Evans.

Nah, you've got to watch it all. You won't wake up, motivating yourself would be tough.

Where was Rodriguez btw?
Caught behind the crash, or just not strong enough?

Evans did not look like winning in three days time when abandoning today.
I think Van Avermet could have been stronger than Gilbert if not forced to help him, he ripped off the peleton on the two climbs.

It looked like the astana rider looked around and threw an elbow at cunego which made him jolt to the right and take nordhaug out...
Wanted Oscar to win!

Have you seen Evans today?
Anyway, i lost my PCM$ because Sagan somehow lost it to Gasparotto and Vanendert, but actually i´m happy he didn´t win.

It's hard to say what happened during the crash, but from what I saw it seemed like Cunego hit Norghaug straight on. Son of a... If the crash hadn't happened I think he might have gotten a Top 7. |

Well as long as streaming the races doesn't max out my internet usage I will be fine, I think we only get L-B-L in New Zealand so I will watch that on TV for sure. Ehhhh not so sure about my motivation for FW. |

He could have possibly won or could have possibly cracked and end up not even in the top 10.
