A. Ryder wins La Fléche Wallonne

Worth staying up for!

Cadel Evans Powered past Contador right before the line.  Showed lots of strength to close gap toward the end.

Can we leave some of these results out of the topic lines? Perhaps make it something like "La Fleche Wallone results - winner revealed in thread..."???

Similar to the Paris Roubaix thread earlier. Just in case SBS televise it or some of us want to watch an online version.

Thanks for letting me rant.

Talk about mental toughness!!

Being able to avoid reading any news on a sport you enjoy just to make sure you dont see the result of a "classic" which may or may not be shown on tv at some stage. Do you also avoid all cycling news websites and media in general the days after a big race also just in case?

I had already heard the result on the today show of all places before coming onto the forum.

I had you pegged as a Koshi & Mel fan. Maybe you were having unpure thoughts about Lisa & Karl.

No longer a Hubbard or a Commuter, just a very naughty boy.

Stop srewing with peoples lives Hillbilly, you thoughtless blogger!

How about you just put question marks in the subject lines so PHL'd can then decide if he wants to open it or not.

Nice win for "A Ryder" - he looked like he was cruising.
Well, no merger so far....

How many times do you reckon Peter Jackson (Alberto Contodor) was thinking to himself "I got this easy" on that last climb??
