2014, Amstel Gold Race, Gilbert Philippe, Valkenburg (pic: ©Sirotti)
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.

I just though you were trying to prove yourself wrong in your claim that you couldn't do any worse!

When I was a young kid, I watched this race taking off. This is my home turf, so will the Eroica in Limburg be on July 3rd. Will that help me? 'Course NOT. So I am relying on the markets, who are fully transparent and always right, or so modern economy says.

@KogaLover
Are you going to do the Eroica Limburg? I copied out the route to here. Quite a bit on tracks - any gen on them?
@Teocalli
Hi Teocalli: thinking about going there. My sister still lives there. I need to change my gundecks from click to strap again. Rest of the #9 is still old-skool compliant. Wasn't thinking about the 160k, rather the 100k since it will be a long cardrive to and from Limburg. Waddaya mean by "gen" btw?
