Fleche discussion (spoilers)
It's been a good week for Gerolsteiner... perhaps they got rid of all their bad karma? Schumi at Amstel and now Rebellin at F-W, not too bad!

The finish was good. For a minute I thought DiLuca had them covered, then he dropped back, but made a comeback to get third.
I enjoyed watching it, thanks to cyclingtv. The Belgian TV coverage was poor, however. Twice breaks were covered and they were on to something else, and everyone was confused. One needed the start sheet to keep track of where everyone was. |

Interesting...keep the rubber on the road and Gerolsteiner is getting some results. |
I especially like Schumacher's victory at Amstel after reading the piece about him in ProCycling magazine. I think it was ProCycling.

Generally they show the rider getting picked up...they didn't. That happened a couple of times. They were comparing it to Amstel coverage. Peloton caught the break caught Rodriguez. Surprise. However, it's pretty cool to sit in my office and watch live cycling from Europe... Besides, only in Flanders do they really understand the sport.:D Wallonia? C'mon....:D |

I sure would like him to do well though, just to see his wife bouncing up and down in the stars and stripes bikini again on the climbs :) |
