Hold on, I just re-read that title article, and realised the keepers tour ‘went close to but did not ride the Mur’ ?? wtf, over.

That’s closer than a close thing which has just won a come close contest. Why would you not do this hill ?

@Dr C

As nearly everyone I know is currently riding down and back up Sa Calobra

Me too - are your mates on the Legro's training camp? I'll say hi if they are. A lot of Texans out here at the moment as well. Great riding out here; not sure I'm going to like going home to miserable weather and potholed roads, riding out here is seriously addictive.

@Dr C

Ryder, sorry mate, but the Astana/Skybots are about to trample all over your Girohopes

You're undoubtedly right, but I was interested to see him finish well and comfortably (amid the host of bobbing heads) the other day. He seem to be well in control of his efforts and not racing to win. Combined with his effort at the Amstel Gold Race, he seems to be rolling into form. Witness the end of la FlÃ¨che Wallonne; Hesjedal rolls over the line at the very end of the video: A couple of other thoughts: 1. I love "le peloton des battus." Awesome stuff! 2. Nice, tender moment between Henao and Betancur at the finish. It's been a good spring for Colombian riders.

Frites and Mayo this Sunday – yeoooww!! Good hard ride involving getting lost a few times before battle commences through the Gilbert’s driveway, and we are in for a great day

As nearly everyone I know is currently riding down and back up Sa Calobra, whilst I languish depressed at work, it is a godsend that we have some good racing on the telly

Poor Philippe – he just wants it too much – needs to transmogrify into a TT expert or something, and not be so openly, the only man who wants the Ardennes more than anything else in the toyshop

I guess it is the downside for kicking everyones butt so hard in 2011

Moreno has been last man standing up the big ramps for J-Rod for the last year or so, so not surprised he made the jump

Ryder, sorry mate, but the Astana/Skybots are about to trample all over your Girohopes

That boy Kwiatowski is destined for greatness me thinx

@Gianni

Make sure you contest it. The Uber-VSP machine picks Martin, Tony before Martin, Dan, because he is German and built like a bastard. And Dan Martin, not so much. And he is English, ooops, Irish.

I had that same dispute as well, Dan Martin for fourth.

By: Steampunk

@Pedale.Forchetta Right you are! So why was it Moreno who did, in fact, cross my mind as a candidate for today's race? Simply nimble Spaniard who showed well at last year's Vuelta?

By: wiscot

@Gianni Dear G, Will do. Tony M doesn't ride these events so I forget about him. Consider some virtual Belgian ales coming your way for the L-B-L article. Unless the forecast changes, something tells me it won't be a weather epic like M-SR.

By: Nate

@wiscot, @Gianni I had the same issue. Thanks to pouring some Belgian ale into the dispute box, it has already been resolved. Thanks. Although I do have a dispute from the ladies' Ronde that didn't -- Gianni, what is the appropriate libation for that race?

By: Gianni

@wiscot Make sure you contest it. The Uber-VSP machine picks Martin, Tony before Martin, Dan, because he is German and built like a bastard. And Dan Martin, not so much. And he is English, ooops, Irish. L-B-L article, this Friday? Interesting. I'll have to look at the Uber-Guest Article Radom Generator Selector Device. Funny, it requires copious amounts of Belgian Ales too.

Moreno? Son of a bug. Who is he? FFS!

Wasn't it Moreno who slipped gears in the Amstel Gold finale and almost took out Valverde and Gerrans? It's funny: I remember making a mental note that he might be worth considering for FlÃ¨che Wallonne when he made his move, but then he almost lost control of his bike, and I blew him off. Chapeau for a good ride.

I’m really hoping Dan Martin’s form has held since Catalunya, would love to see him take the top step.

I’m very, very curious to see how the World Champ does. Is he just a bit off this year, making us appreciate just how hard his Triple was? Or, has he lost that Love & Feelin’?

Gerrans. I think he’s been gauging what he has in those legs, from TDU through tomorrow and is feeling strong.

Valverde. Did he race smartly on Sunday or not take his turn?
