Liege - Bastogne - Liege (that's Leeds - Birmingham - Leeds in English money) is a bike race. It has at least one hill in it, and is contested by a number of cyclists. Usually there is a winner, often the person who reaches the finish line first. The race is hard, but some people like it.

That's our GCSE report on the Ardennes classics done then. So who'll win?

Damiano Cunego
We've not been able to take the Piccolo Principe seriously ever since we read Candide and discovered the rudely-named character "Cunegonde". Thank you Voltaire for making us associate one of our favourite riders with a lady's naughty parts, and thus ruining cycling forever (or perhaps making it even better?!).
Odds to win: 11/1 (12)

Michael Boogerd
Michael Boogerd doesn't win things, he just lingers in the top five like a reasonably talented bad smell. No matter how much Oust you use, you know he's not going anywhere. (Apologies to our Dutch readers. We'll do a hundred Yvonne Hijennaar updates to make up for this one.)
Odds to win: 14/1 (15)

Danilo Di Luca
Danilo's had excellent form in the Amstel Gold and Fleche Wallone, not to mention a increidbly lacklustre sprint that has cost him a second place in both events. No chance of winning this one then. Unless he's going for ProTour points, he might as well just get thinking about how to work on that 30th place he's going to get in the Giro.

Think we're wrong? It's certainly possible, although quite unlikely. Bet with us or bet against us, we don't care so long as you bet. We've got to eat, yo. Winners always welcome at Betfair!
