Mmmmm, Amstel...

This Sunday. Gotta love the badly translated official website:

André Greipel is elusive, apparently. Startlist:

2006 SCHLECK Frank (Lux)
2005 DI LUCA Danilo (Ita)

    Cunego and Valverde have just been duking-it out lately - with Bettini not there and it comes down to an uphill sprint finish... Valverde
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    I'm not going to discount Boogerd. He'll turn up and do it for hell of it.

    Rabobank haven't won this in a while so...

    My continued use of longshots was a dismal failure. Time to pick the bona fide winner:


    Valverde
