Les Ardennes
First win for BMC, finally. Great victory for Cadel. Nice to see Contador struggling in the end.
Re: Les Ardennes
I really like what Cadel is experiencing right now. He´s in his best shape and the world championship was that kind of big race he needed to finally get some release off the pressure. I always liked him, but now he´s a great rider that wins important races. Good for cycling.

Re: Les Ardennes
I'm impressed..vino showed good legs at trentino...he conserved the good status for L-B-L - today you saw the "domestic helper" for contador in france...
i feel a little bit sorry for kolobnev, so many times so close to win...but everytime just #2,#3....

Re: Les Ardennes
Vino didnt look very strong for a while, just trying to stay with Kolobnev, but in the end the russian didnt seem able to do anything to come back... Surprising!
And I don't know if it was on purpose, but after contador's little attack (la roche aux faucons ? ), it seemed obvious that he would have to get back on every attack, so putting Vinokourov in front was a good idea to prevent this from happening, and spare contador's energie. But nobody else wanted to ride so...

I had a good laugh watching this race. Vino, Prudhomme and the media. 

Re: Les Ardennes
I hope they're not going to throw him out of the Tour for this^^

Re: Les Ardennes
I mean, yes it was a good race, the best since a long time (thinking of last year beeing like Roubaix this year, Schleck was just too strong). But was it really necessary to let Astana win? That destroyed the whole race. (And I indeed hope they throw out Astana off everything, just because... yes, exactly!)
Re: Les Ardennes
Just because of good old western European superiority complex, yep.
