Liege Bastogne Liege - Gcn cycling news show ep 17

It’s been a busy week in cycling - here’s what’s happened. Fleche Wallonne in Belgium was as captivating as ever thanks to the finishing climb of the Mur de Huy. Marianne Vos claimed her fifth win here, at the end of a very agressive race. In the men’s race, an audacious last minute attack from Carlos Bettancur of AG2R La Mondiale fell just  short, with Dani Moreno of Katusha taking the win, and Sergio Henao of Sky Procycling also edging past the flagging Colombian. In Italy, the Giro del Trentino saw the last head to head before the Giro for the two big favourites - Vincenzo Nibali of Astana and Bradley Wiggins of Sky Procycling. The final day showdown petered out with a brilliant show of strength from Nibali while Wiggins suffered a mechanical problem and a mild tantrum. The Tour of Turkey started on Sunday, with Marcel Kittel of Argos Shimano taking a chaotic sprint win in a stacked field in the opening stage, and then Aidis Kruopkis escaped the carnage of the second stage to take the win. And Liege Bastogne Liege rounded out the classics with a much lauded display of team work from Garmin SHARP. Ryder Hesjedal attacked in the finale, giving his cool headed team mate Dan Martin an armchair ride. He then saw off an attack by Jauquin Rodriguez of Katusha, dropping him within sight of the line. When we caught up with Dan earlier in the year, he had this to say about his hopes for the classics: We’ll assess the winners and losers of the 2013 classics season later in the show.   We had a lot of guesses as to the winners of Liege Bastonge liege, and fleche, but no one managed to get both. In fact Skypekai, was the only person to guess even one right, so we’ll send you the GCN t-shirt. Get in touch, and we’ll sort you out.   Tech News: The Myocycle anti-injury app was also in the news this week. A collaboration between Brett Lancaster of Orica-GREENEDGE and his long time physio Cher Hetherington, it is a one stop self diagnosis app to help identify probable causes of injury, and suggested methods of treatment using Myotherapy. This could be a great resource for cyclists, as not everyone has access to physios on demand. It’s available now on the apple app store.
