Well, Amstel Gold and Fleche Wallonne. Nobody appears to be as strong as Di Luca.

Are we really going to see another unthinkable triple this Sunday??

That would be something. Way to go Danilo! I thought you were done after last year.

Now that pretty much everyone focuses on their chosen few weeks a year, it seems like all the unthinkables are just waiting to happen, and that records are just made to be broken.

Will I put money on DiLuca this weekend, to win the race he was actually gunning for? To repeat the unthinkable treble?

I can't. I went all in on pocket nines last night. :rolleyes:

But I would! Go Danilo!

Could be worse. My last tournament, I went all in with 9-3 suited. Ran into bullets. I deserved it.

Danilo repeating Rebellin's triple? Wow. This weekend's LBL is going to be interesting. You've got to figure everybody in the peloton and his second cousin are going to mark Di Luca well.

Wow! Maybe he'll win LBL too. That would be incredible - two years in a row of something that has never happened before in history.
