Little Liège, held continuously since 1936 except for 1940, the year that has not played because of World War II, takes place in the region of Wallonia, the southern-most region of 3, together with Flanders and Brussels, which make up the Kingdom of Belgium.
Belgium is a federal country, where the language of three distinct communities, the Flemish north, south and German-speaking south-east, who are deeply divided and have wide legislative power in the territory under its jurisdiction.
After this brief tour to the cultural Bulbarelli, we talk about race.
200 km race from Charleroi to Huy, which will have its defining moment, no doubt, right on the wall of Huy, or simply "the wall", the last of the ten cotes be addressed, also known as the Chemin des Chapelles because of the seven chapels that lie along the path.
"The Wall", which will be addressed three times, has a length of 1.3 km, 128 m in altitude, with an average gradient of 9.8% and a maximum of 26, and on top of that is the place goal.
Note that the limited mileage, Less than 60 km in Liege, will cause the slopes of the "wall" will meet many joggers and then the fight will rage for the lead.
For "our" Colour, Frank Schleck remains to be seen whether, after the bitter dell'Amstel second place, to safeguard the leg in Liege true goal of this season, or will not let you miss the chance to win a classic, not unjustly included in the Pro Tour calendar (we know that the jurisdiction of the UCI has now reached levels barzellettiani). For Andy
instead Arrow is the last chance to show off before the Liege, which told us to keep in a special way, even if it seems to have focused preparation for the Tour de France, but maybe I have in mind to make us a welcome surprise. Forza Ragazzi!
