Amstel Gold.
Bloody hell, what a race.
If you've any interest in road cycling, watch it.

All's fair in love, the #thursday #NYTimesCrossword and the #proCycling #springClassics. @soaproot knows the Thursday crossword. As for cycling: in stage races, it's considered uncool to attack one of the race leaders when they've been involved in a crash or had a mechanical. In the spring classics, which are all one day races and usually ridiculously long and grueling, there is no race leader going in, so if a favorite falls? Attack away. Flat tire on the cobblestones? Bummer dude, we're out.
