Cycling, Gilbert commands in the Amstel Gold Race

(Ansa)

Philippe Gilbert in search of redemption. Remained dry, last Sunday, the Arrow of Brabande, where he had to settle for third place, the rider of the BMC seeks poker the Amstel Gold Race, the race which will open the Triptych of the Ardennes.
After the successes won in 2010, 2011 and 2014 Gilbert is the favorite to win the 50th edition of the Dutch race and its success is worth 4.50 at high altitude. Twice on the podium but never in first place Alejandro Valverde first tracker in blackboard and banked 6.00, while for the Australian Michael Matthews rises to 7.00 Snai. Eye also to the world champion in charge Michael Kwiatkowski, 8.00, and Italian Fabio Felline, first blue slate and fresh from victory in the second stage of the Tour of the Basque Country: for him the success that is 33 times the mail.
