[editor's note, by chris] I know this seems a little frivolous for a post, but hey, it's Friday. Have fun.

My cycle sport (re)subscription comes with a free dvd; but I don't know my classics history (the shame the shame).

Which one should I choose?

2005; LBL, FW, HV, GW,
2004; LBL, FW
2003; LBL, FW, HV, GW
2002; LBL, FW, HV, GW
2001; GW

(Its one race from one year, if that wasn't clear)

F*&%^ Vino...

Go with the GW the year George won it over Van Bon. Not only was it his only classics win, but also a great race to watch. But I thought it came on the same dvd as Het Volk from the same year.

Skip them all.

If you don't have the Crash dvd, that's the one to get. I think it's still one of your options, and even non-cycling friends and family will be entertained.

WCP pairs races?

WCP pairs up LBL with FW and GW with HV, right? (except 2004 there was no HV).

2004 LBL/FW was Rebellin's double so if you like him, that's your pick.

2003 LBL was won by that lying doper pussy Tyler Hamilton, so avoid that one.

Otherwise, I own a few of the others, nothing in my memory makes any one stand out, but my personal favorite courses/races are LBL and FW. Finishing on the Muur de Huy (FW) is really fun to watch. It kicks up to 19% about halfway and from there to the top the race is usually decided.

Cipollini!

If you're a fan of the Lion King, the 2002 GW is a lot of fun.

Otherwise, I'd definitely go for FW or LBL. I'd probably pick the 2002 LBL or the 2005 FW, because they were won by two of my favorite riders, but you can't go too far wrong with any edition of FW or LBL.

I just got mine.

I got 05 FLeche Wallone, expecting to get LBL too but they are only sending out singles now. I think Het Volk is the way to go, closest you can get to Flanders.
