I just can't make up my mind. I have a horrible feeling Valverde is going to win again but I can't bring myself to back him.
Likewise!! I'd like to see Purito do well, but I just wonder if he's lost that punch with age. I could see him putting some attacks in on the Mur and perhaps the previous climb, only to be pipped by Valverde - but I'm not backing Valverde. Nibbles might want to get a win in before Astana lose their licence, or he may not. I think people are dismissing Kwiatkowski as not quite the climber, but he was third last year and looked strong at the Amstel. Gilbert might be looking to get revenge for Amstel, and there are plenty of others. It's all a bit of a lottery really.
Alternatively, given the usual standard of my picks, maybe I ought to back Valverde, that way he'll never win.
Whattheheck. Fleche Wallonne = Kwiatkowski (with an unofficial side bet on Purito, and Prevot for the women's race)
