2010 Liege-Bastogne-Liege & Fleche Wallonne - April 21/25, 2010 Double Tour de France champion Alberto Contador leads the charge for victory in this year's Liege-Bastogne-Liege - but how soon will it be before he runs into trouble with Cancellara, fresh off wins at Roubaix and Flanders, stating that Liege is now his next goal. Yes, cycling's oldest Classic has as much climbing as a Tour de France stage in the Alps. But Contador has little knowledge of racing strategy in the twisting, poorly surfaced narrow roads that claw their way over Belgium 's painfully steep Ardennes hills. For the one-day spring Classics specialists Liege-Bastogne-Liege represents one last throw of the dice before their season ends, whilst for Contador it is another opportunity to widen his already bulging palmares. But will cycling's greatest stage racer triumph? Three ascents of the agonisingly steep, twisting Mur de Huy climb deep in the Belgian Ardennes hills will once again decide the champion of Fleche Wallone this April. The only top one-day race with a true uphill finish, it's no surprise Fleche Wallone has a long history of crafty, powerful winners, all of them tried and tested in a hundred Classics battles. Find out why in this DVD. Commentary by Phil Liggett & Paul Sherwen. Approx. 240 min.
