    Fair enough...

    I'll be sure that we get separate spoiler threads for the WT Ardennes races... that ought to keep everyone happy.

    Looks like Froome and Quintana are racing LBL.

    Looks like Betancur isn't.

    You mean Froome will be having a chest infection in Liege.

    (I thought he might have a crack at Fleche after his Tour performance on the Mur)

    My daughter is at uni in Maastricht. For the third year running, she has got up on race morning and the show has already left town!

    She just sent me a picture of the Jumbo minibus on it's way to the finish.

    BTW big bean is going to have a coronary if we use this thread for all AGR/LBL/FW etc spoilers...

    It's almost like I was the only one to complain about the shambles earlier on this season!

    Lack of 'spoiler' in the title didn't stop BB doing a running commentary on the Basque thread though.

    We all have our sensitivities. I like the race name to be in the title and am that not fussed about spoiler tags. Anyone who clicks on an Amstel Gold thread who is trying to avoid the result is, well, a little foolish in my opinion. I mainly interpret the spoiler tag as the forum equivalent of TV channels adding "Live".

    So what chance Dan Martin, now that he has a real classics squad backing him up?
    It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    Martin, maybe. depends on his respiratory issues. Looks like Liege will be wet for the pro race.
