The Schlecks looked like club racers going up against a pro this morning when Gilbert easily out classed the two in the finale of Leige-Bastogne-Liege. Keep checking Steephill.tv and Cyclingfans.com for highlights of the final 30 kms. After watching Gilbert win Lombardy last year and now going for the elusive hat-trick in the Ardennes this week I would have to put him up there with Cancellara as one of the superheros of the peleton.

Speaking of bicycles... have you been in to see the new 2011 Eddy Merckx bikes? I am in love with the EMX-1 and EMX-3. If you are looking for a race-worthy bike that is also supremely comfortable and confident handling then do yourself a favor and test ride one. And if the budget allows, have a peak at the EMX-5 we have built up. Stunning.
Up next is the Giro d'Italia. Here's hoping for more exciting racing and a lot less doping drama coverage!
