Is Vino riding Amstel, or just L-B-L?
It's hard to go against Valverde.
I'm going to go out on a limb: Danilo Di Luca FTW!

Sinkewitz
Rebellin
DiLuca
Or...
Bettini
Kroon
Valverde
If I hedge my bets a few more times, I'll be right for once.

The only favourites (that I know of) that are specifically peaking for this race are Valv.Piti, Schleck, Boogerd and Kroon. The others are roughly aiming for the 3 Ardennes races in general. So I personally think the winner will be one of these 4 (but not Boogerd as he will be too marked). Schleck will be strong, but I think Valverde will take it in a small-group sprint. Boogerd will lead it out and get swamped for 3rd of 4th

Actually, I think some fans here might still remember that little incident with Hincapie last year on the 23rd of August.
