That adds to Gilbert's win in the Amstel Gold Race on Sunday. He's got his home classic - Liège–Bastogne–Liège - on this Sunday.

Gilbert smashed the Schelcks at the end. He is on fire!

Did he what? I knew he was going to attack on that last corner but I think he took Andy by surprise.

Hey norbs, are you using that steephill site? I have found a few of those links a bit flaky.

I actually watched it on the iPhone in bed. JustinTV app. Wasn't great, but I was knackered, so didnt care.

Gilbert can lay claim to being probably the most successful of all the Walloon* cyclists. His certainly the equal of any in the last 50 years and with my limited knowledge, I know of none before that.

I think at last count, he's won four majors in the last week and a half.
