    i watched it all - brilliant - what a fantastic ride they all must have had.
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    That looks ACE!

    Ullrich looking really good and happy.

    I can't help thinking the organisation is almost on a par with the Spring Fling ride. Almost.

    I've entered this. Should be fun. And a bit of hard work. I wonder how many will see him and blow their ringpieces out trying to beat him.

    Starts off as fun, half way up the third climb, the Jaufenpass, I started to want my Mum...

    Still should be fun. I've got the full 270km Liege Bastogne Liege in 8 days (Yikes) and that is nearly the same amount of climbing. At least I'll know if I suck or not and have some time for improvement.

    It is a great event, the crowds, scenery, cows in the road and fantastic organisation.
    Applied this year and didn't get a place although still in the draw for the seceond draw in May but doubt I'd take it up at that short notice.
    Enjoy.

    I bottled this on very short notice when I worked in Germany a few years ago - regret it now but it was probably the right decision at the time!

    Got my entry again this year - 3rd one in a row! Glutton for punishment! You know it is a tough one when you enter the GF Giordana (aka GF Marco Pantani) as a training ride! Looking forward to it again, best sportive on earth IMHO - wish I had fuelled myself better last year, was sitting on a sub 10 i reckon but absolutely crawled up the Timmelsjoch feeling close to death - my plan this year is wake up at 5am eat lots, get to start and continue to eat constantly for the entire ride!
