    No. He was going to, but he decided to spend his time scouting the Giro route.


    Hmm.

    Disappointing.

    I was genuinely interested to see what an in form(ish) Wiggins could do in a race like Liege.

    Who are Sky riding for?

    Had pondered a PTP punt on Rigoberto Uran.

    Probably Henao, though they have a ridiculous amount of options.

    Uran has best record in this sort of race, Henao has the form. Can't realistically see Porte, Froome or JTL contesting the finish, none of them have much experience or tactical nous for this sort of racing.

    Currently feels like a Tour stage.

    JTL is going to solo from La Redoute and bring me some PTP points home.

    Me too, but with the Giro on the horizon it probably makes more sense to stay in Italy for a while rather than having to rush up to Belgium the day before LBL, especially when Sky aren't lacking strong riders.

    Dire times.

    At least get that guy who does all the Italian races in.

    He just referred to a town as "formerly medieval"

    I can't see it being a race for him, he just doesn't have the punch. I'm far more interested to see how he handle the Giro, plenty of the climbs are the steep ones that suit him less.

    I remember when Cunego would have been a serious favourite for a race like this.

    Pace going up, I've been in and out of the room, has the Schleck-chute deployed yet?

    That's a very big peloton still considering this is LBL.

    Schleck and Uran right at the back, latter perhaps more of a surprise.
