    Sorry, I see your OP is cycling related, not Inter or AC Milan!

    But I do see AC Milan's match at Lazio is live streamed on Bet365 at 4:45pm here (7:45pm UK time). I wonder if Taarabt is back in favour for selection?

    I also note our match against Wigan is also going to be live streamed Tues on Bet365.

    Yesterday I watched TFC in MLS play with Jermain Defoe, Julio Cesar and Bradley Orr playing, win their home opener 1-0. Defoe scored the goal, his 3rd in 2 games, and should have had more. Cesar had not much to do. Uncharacteristically Ryan Nelsen's new look TFC have won back to back games.

    Defoe links up well with Gilberto and Michael Bradley brings a lot of energy to the side and never stops working in midfield (a bit like Barton), even running through the ref and pushing him over.

    Watched it but for the second year in a row the weather took the edge off it. Not really up there with the other classics as it's all down to il Poggio, the short descent and usually a bunch sprint finish.

    Best one day in my opinion is the Tour of Flanders followed by the Paris Roubaix with Liege Bastogne Liege a fairly distand third. Flanders is April 6, Roubaix the 13th.

    Will agree with you on Tour of Flanders being the best of the Spring Classics but Paris - Roubaix will always hold a large attraction for me.

    Good to see the Sky lad in the mix today finishing third behind Cancellara

    The Roubaix is great especially when dry with the dust clouds over the pave and that riding on the verge. That famous tract in the forest is great. Moser winning it soured it for me for many years. Massive hypocrite and nasty piece of work. I'd say much more but UK libel laws etc!

    Yeah the Arenberg Tranche. I rode it as a lad with my Dad the year my hero Vanderaerdan won. I'll never forget those bloody cobbles

    One day classics are the best of cycling for me. If you get dopers at least they're real deal and not of the Armstrong, Indurain variety.

    Freddy Maertens was my favourite, totally shameless and after all those years a second world championship. Might have posted this before but great interview explaining all the scams: http://bikeraceinfo.com/oralhistory/freddy-maertens.html
