Velominati Super Prestige: Amstel Gold 2016

Ooooof! The VSP generator and operators need more than a week to recover from that race. Tommeke may never recover, that chance will never come again.

We now move into the Netherlands and the first of three Ardennes races. Whomever did well in Paris-Roubaix probably won’t like all the hills in Amstel. Same with the beer but I’ll leave that beery subject alone this year.

PhilGil has been busy fighting drunk drivers (He Badger’d him!) and is now off the start list then again he is back on as of Wednesday. Sure, the police pay attention when the cyclist in the altercation is Philippe Gilbert, ffs. Matt Hayman and Tony Martin are on the list, ouch, no rest there. So rest, recover, don’t spare the malted rehydrating beverage. No Delgados please.

  29. the field is pretty wide open.  i’ll end up with no VSP points on this one, but after Roubaix, who cares?

  30. Good lord, sounds like Phil G. maced an angry motorist! And broke his finger. Only in pro cycling are the riders fucked with during “practice.” Imagine Lebron having to mace someone while working on his free throws…

  32. Wow. Tough calls. I think it is wide open. But it is time for a certain EQS rider to break through.

  33. Once again, another crapshoot. I didn’t pick Gilbert only because it’s unclear whether he’s going to race.

    Picks box is acting weird.  First it only shows one box and after a refresh it shows five boxes but puts numbers in front of some names.

    The odd part is to be carrying that stuff (when not in Bear country) would seem to imply some history of incidents and if not would appear to be a questionable accessory.
