[UCI World Tour] Liège-Bastogne-Liège

Liège-Bastogne-Liège

Yes, another prediction event. :)

How it works

Predict who is going to win the race; that's all. :)

Entries close when the race starts. Since it's a one day race just enter your predictions below.

Once all the classics have finished I will create a special winner's event for everyone who correctly predicted a race giving them a shot at some nice games.

Race Preview

La Doyenne ("The Old Lady") is the last of the real spring classics; I'm not counting Rund um den Finanzplatz Eschborn-Frankfurt, just the name alone... We're deep in the Ardennes now with some serious climbs to be conquered. Also the site of the Siege of Bastogne during WWII.

• The man to beat, Philippe Gilbert, sustained a kidney injury when he fell during the Amstel Gold Race (which he won, I might add), so unfortunately he won't be riding.
• Nor will last year's winner Wout Poels as he is also still dealing with the aftermaths of an injury.
• Three time winner Alejandro Valverde just won his fifth Flèche Wallonne in style on Wednesday and will be looking to make it four here.
• Greg Van Avermaet who has won more classics than anyone this season will be there. In the past he skipped the Ardennes classics mostly. However, he has become a more complete rider and he wants to win all five monuments.
• 2013 winner Dan Martin will be the sole focus for Quick-Step Floors since both Gilbert and Julian Alaphilippe are out with injuries.
• With Wout Poels gone, Michał Kwiatkowski will be the man to do it for Team Sky.
• Team Sunweb is bringing Tom Dumoulin (who had quite the season last year) and Warren Barguil (who I'm hoping will improve this season).
• And Orica–Scott will start with 2014 winner Simon Gerrans and Michael Albasini.
