One day cycking classic Iiege-Bastonge-Liege 2010 in Belgium. A fantastic race with the man with a "dodgy" past history Alexander Vinokourov(Astana) "smoking" the ever attacking Kolobnev from the Katusha team to take a fantastic win. His 2nd win in this race. Respect!!!
[DEC 2011] So here we have it:
Was there collusion of a devious nature? Did they exchange bank details on the final climb? Or was it perhaps written on Kolobnev's bar stem for Vino to see and memorize?
All in all, they broke away and deserved the top two podium places. No denying that. Speculation will be rife, though. Nothing new.
I find it very hard to believe that Kolobnev -- and his Katusha salary -- would be "€100,000" swayed from a potentially career-changing L-B-L win. But let's see.
