La Fleche Wallone
And we go
The 5 escapes
The pack on an intermediarre pass of the mythical Mur de Huy
The serious things begun with Valjavec's attack but he is rather an climber than an puncheur
Kirchen goes after Bettini and Kroon
9 riders to fight for winning today. Valverde, Kichen Dekker and Bettini are there
The first attacks on the beginings of Mur de Huy
Kroon, Kirchen and Nocentini are in front
Valverde is close too. He wants to win today
The last corner
And Valverde is going to win. He's the best sprinter from there
And he does it
A mistake was made by the organizers when judjing the photofinish. In the TV replay it's obvious that Kirchen was second not Kroon. In hell with them
Rebellin is geting old, only 10th

It's the front wheel that counts.
And in any case if you get your front wheel across the line first, then most likely you'll get your back wheel across first too. Unless, you're riding one crazy bike.  |

Absolutely no idea.
Kirchen looked to be in front - sometimes if you come from behind the pic might look like that. But, you didn't, so I've no idea. |

Only 11 teams and 2nd or 3rd class riders. That explain a lot
Oh and I almost forgot Gerdemann and Boom are both 91 fitness pts
