What’s in VeloNews Magazine – July 2010
With the Tour de France on the horizon, VeloNews editor at large John Wilcockson visited the Ardennes Classics to witness firsthand how this year's Tour contenders were shaping up. At the Amstel Gold Race Belgian Philippe Gilbert used his impressive power to win a difficult uphill sprint ahead of Ryder Hesjedal.
