Cycling : w/c 22 April

This week sees the 4th monument of the cycling season on Sunday - Liege-Bastogne-Liege. But the week starts with La Fleche Wallonne on Wednesday.
La Fleche Wallonne
Run over 195km with real climbs. The most famous being the Mur de Huy - 1.3km at 9.6% but has 400m @ 11%, 100m @ 17% and 300m @ 14%. This is climbed (I think) 3 times and the finish is 100m from the top the last time it is climbed. Previous winners - 4 times in a row Valverde until Alaphilippe unseated him last year. Going with
All e/w to 3 places
A Yates @ 11/1
Lutsenko @ 80/1
Martinez @ 400/1

Liege-Bastogne-Liege
Sunday sees the 4th Monument of the season. The last hilly classic before the Grand Tours. Run over 256 km with 11 sharp climbs mostly in the last 100 km. For eg in the last 30 km we get 2 km at 8.9% and 1.3 km at 11%. For the first time in 27 years we do not finish on top of a climb but have around 6 km downhill and flat. This would bring the likes of Matthews into reckoning should a small group reach the finish. Fuglsang has placed in nearly every hilly one day race he has ridden but he could not beat my dead grand mother in a sprint. Early doors going with
Win Only
Alaphilippe @ 9/2
E/W
Ulissi @ 50/1

It's all about Mad Max for the win for me today!!

Nice plays Brent. I unfortunately lost virtually a full Grand Tour budget on the race. Made myself a little spread on Ala P. Went big on the win and covered 80% with a 50% larger stake on a finish outside the top three. Apparently placed the cover the wrong way and lost a bundle.
