For the seasoned pro:

"This year’s Amstel Gold Race, the 48th edition, has a different finish location. The new finish line will be 1.8 kilometers further on from the famous Cauberg in Valkenburg, in exactly the same location as the 2012 cycling World Championships. In addition, this year’s hopefuls must also climb the Cauberg twice in the final stages of the race."

    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Nocentini for me (continuing my unsuccesful policy of deliberately not picking Cancellara, Sagan, Contador, Rodriguez or Gilbert for any race)

    I think Sagan will win but my PTP pick is

    Gilbert please

    No logic, just Sagan is due some sort of bad luck surely.

    I don't do the PTP, but this tickled me:

    "This year’s Amstel Gold Race, the 48th edition, has a different finish location. The new finish line will be 1.8 kilometers further on from the famous Cauberg in Valkenburg, in exactly the same location as the 2012 cycling World Championships. In addition, this year’s hopefuls must also climb the Cauberg twice in the final stages of the race."


    'Cos I wrote it!

    If was doing PTP I'd also have Sagan.
