Although i i'm routing for gilbert, i don't see him winning sunday.
There will be too much attacks for him to control. Unless he somehow get even stronger. If that happens, the competetion might as well give up
Same, I'm hoping Gilbert will take home the win and the quadruple (counting Fleche Brabançonne too) but the other teams will be riding too aggressively for Omega-Pharma and Gilbert too handle. |

Andy rode for Frank in FW, I don't think he had such a bad day. Phil had a little luck too, cause nobody went early to accelerate the rythm and try to crack him on the high slopes, but I insist the finishes from Macerata and Chieti benefited him. Liege and the quadruple surely for him, if nothing strangely occurs!

Just watched highlights from the past 10 LBL's and I am very excited for
tomorrow. I just hope I can get up to see Gilbert ride away with Hesjedal on the Nicholas only to lose in the sprint  |

Unless your partying it up you should be up in good time. It ends around 10:30am-ish here so for you 11:30-ish.
Unless you plan on staying up and surprising the Easter Bunny?

I'll give it a shot on LBL too.
1. Philippe Gilbert
2. Andy Schleck
3. Igor Antón
4. JoaquÃm RodrÃguez
5. Samuel Sánchez
6. Alexandre Vinokourov
7. Jelle Vanendert
8. Fränk Schleck
9. Alexander Kolobnev
10. Ben Hermans
Nobody will be able to beat Gilbert. This year he has Van den Broeck and Vanendert also in top form, so they will be able to bring back the attackers.
However, on Roche-aux-Faucons Andy Schleck will attack like in the two last editions. Gilbert and Antón follows him and those three will battle it out for the win with Gilbert outsprinting his two companions.
Purito will win the sprint in the group behind ahead of S. Sánchez and Gilbert's super domestique Vanendert.

A banana for Nordhaug, eventhough his shape is bad, due to his allergy for pollen (!?). He could have done well in top shape in Fleche, fun to see him pacing the peloton with a waste of an attack
A banana for that!

You mean he was.
Just falled back. Also the advance is already melting a lot. Just ~1min left of max 4. |

Katusha seems quite desperate to get a man or two in the midbreak. How many men has they sent out now? Vorganov is in the front, Caruso attacked, but didn't make it up to G2. Then Di Luca tried, and now Caruso again.....
The whole race looks promising though, lots of attacks, and no one wants to fully help Lotto with the chase.

Our commentator (Paulo Martins) keeps saying Vanberg instead of Vanendert, that sometimes, I don't know who's he talking about...  |

cycling is more and more political-psychological sport.. Whp is working with who...negotiations between riders and team cars. Soon they will buy help service..
We help a pull with 2 riders and 10km..it will cost 10 000..with 5 riders and 20km. 25 000. |

If I remember correctly Leopard don't have anyone in the break either, that means they will have to work as well if they want to win. But maybe they'd rather get a 12th as best and see Gilbert lose, than get a 2nd and risk seeing Gilbert win.
