Liege-Bastogne-Liege

Usually a few people commenting live though!! Very quiet!

Contador on the attack!!

The race has kicked off but it's unclear what's going to happen. Don't think any breaks are going to stay away for long.

Anyone online watching?

First classic I've seen live for a while but daughter's football match was cancelled today as the other team couldn't produce one!!

So very similar looking teams

Alejandro Valverde
Philippe Gilbert
Daniel Martin
Daniel Moreno
Sergio Luis Henao
Simon Gerrans
Bart de Clercq
Pieter Weening
Carlos Alberto Betancur

If J-Rod,Rolland and Sammy Sanchez could conjure a 1-2-3 I'd finallyt rescue something from the Spring Classics

Gone with

Daniel Martin (GRM)
Philippe Gilbert (BMC)
Roman Kreuziger (SAX)
Simon Gerrans (GRE)
Maxim Iglinsky (AST)
Carlos Alberto Betancur (ALM)
Christian Meier (GRE)
Giampaolo Caruso (KAT)
Alejandro Valverde (MOV)

There are 6 riders with a lead of over 8 minutes:

Sander Armee (Topsport Vlaanderen - Baloise), Bart De Clercq (Lotto), Vincent Jérôme (Europcar), Pirmin Lang (IAM Cycling), Frederik Veucheulen (Vacansoleil) and Jonathan Fumeaux (IAM Cycling)

I decided to stick....

Valverde, Gilbert, Mollema, Martin, Kwiatkowski, Henao, Cattaneo, Betancur, Weening

Purist: J-Rod, Martin, Mollema, Gilbert, Ulissi, Iglinsky, Betancur, Weening, De Clerq

It seems a Mollema, Valverde, Kwiatkowski 1-2-3 would be the best for me

Got two full teams. Purist is

Henao, Martin, Caruso, Gilbert, Hesjedal, Vanendert, Gerrans, Betancur and Schleck

Standard is

Henao, Martin, Valverde, Gilbert, Nibali, Kwiatkowski, Weening, Betancur and Lutsenko

Gambling time...
Moreno
Froome
Gilbert
Gerrans

Mollema
Weening
Betancur

Betancur
iglinsky

2.GILBERT
3.VALVERDE
4.MARTIN
5.GERRANS
6.KWIATOWSKI
7.BETANCUR
8.SIUTSOU
9.WEENING

Happy with this lot.....Now just got to wait and watch them all break down or fall off again as with the rest of my Spring Classics picks....Bloody stupid game....I LOVE IT.....

If the Giro prices hadn't been set last week he'd be even more expensive than that!

I really don't fancy Gerrans' chances as much as everyone else seems to(cue him winning now!!)....I guess you can see what sort of race I'm expecting by this little lot.

J-Rod
His Nibs
Henao
Quintana
Samu
Cunego(last chance for the Little Prince)
Rolland
Betancur
Weening

Still 9 purists running-J-Rod,Weening,Betancur,Henao,Slagter,Gilbert,Cunego,Moser,Quintana.

I'll be glad to see the back of the one-dayers.....until Quebec at least.

Thanks for the Ray, I totally forgot about Betancur....Glad I had a transfer in the bag, Schleck gets the boot, so you better all get him in going on my last two years performances

Gilbert, Valverde and Betancur are my definites. Good feeling about Dan Martin, too. Igor Anton looked strong mid-week, just to confuse us all.

I have NO Froomedog. But I want to know, who is NOT going to take a gamble with Schleck, such good value at 3, he's been my throw away rider every time he races, so I can afford better riders and on the off chance he finishes a race....

I updated it earlier, there should be no more changes

I've been rash and made half my transfers already....just hope the likes of Froomie don't pull out before Sunday

I think I may stick with team I have or Maybe Nibali for Gilbert
