Valverde Number One at Flèche Wallonne

It's tricky picking a Fantasy Cycling team isn't it?  Not only do you have to think about who's got good legs, there's the other considerations too.  There are some riders I just can't bring myself to have on my team.  For example, Danilo Di Luca who even before he was caught on the gear for the third time, was obviously a wrong 'un and not welcome on the Bile Beans.  And there are some riders who I won't have on my team for personal reasons - Tommy Voeckler and his stupid face just annoy me too much to be welcome on the Bile Beans. 

But when scores are tight at the end of the Fantasy Classics season, you gotta do what you gotta do.  So, although he may have served a ban for his Dr. Fuentes links, and although he may have been pretty unrepentant about the whole thing, Alejandro Valverde got the Bile Beans seal of approval.  After all he's certainly had a good season so far and so far he's not been caught doing anything else naughty.  I mean it's not like he rode off the front of the race with 2 team mates like they did back in the 90's.

Oh, how the younger me wanted one of those titanium De Rosas.  Anyway, to get back on topic, I was pleased, but also felt slightly dirty, when Alejandro Valverde won Flèche Wallonne today.

Top score went to ENRICO 666, with the Bile Beans close behind.

My second place was enough to get me back on the top of the overall, after a slightly poor showing from Mungo.

Only one race to go now till we crown the overall winner of the Spring Classics...... Liege-Bastogne-Leige, which as a Cat 1 race counts for more points.  I'm shit out of transfers, so I'm stuck with my current line-up.  I hope my boys can do enough to keep me on top,  Mungo and the Rouleurs will be hoping they can't.
