Amstel Gold

Jo Burt has spent the majority of his life riding bikes, drawing bikes and writing about bikes. When he's not scribbling pictures for the whole gamut of cycling media he writes words about them for road.cc and when he's not doing either of those he's pedaling. Then in whatever spare minutes there are in between he's agonizing over getting his socks, cycling cap and bar-tape to coordinate just so. And is quietly disappointed that yours don't He rides and races road bikes a bit, cyclo-cross bikes a lot and mountainbikes a fair bit too. Would rather be up a mountain.

yup, the ToT crashes put a certain sparkle back into the afternoon
That's absolutely outrageous!
The beer looks nowhere near cold enough.
yeah, that's pretty spectacular - it all kicks off about 3:35 in
But, did you need a 'helping hand' ??
