Back-to-back challenges deep in Belgium’s rugged uplands of the Ardennes, for even the strongest of Classic specialists, Fleche Wallone and Liege-Bastogne-Liege are race-names that fill them with dread.Veterans of the game know that for both races, sheer passion and raw energy are vital ingredients for success. But in 260 kilometers of racing, passion can burn out, and energy may be limited.This double-package DVD of both Fleche and Liege offers a powerful insight into the immensely complicated but intriguing build-up, development and outcome of two of cycling’s best-loved Classics.Sterling performances by Italian veterans Danilo Di Luca and Davide Rebellin - nicknamed, respectively, ‘Il Killer’ and “the Priest” - are shown in full detail. No doubt about it, this April two of the top Classics experts of their generation have delivered breathtakingly executed top-class rides worth viewing and re-viewing time and again.But in races which are never decided until the last kilometer, good performances will only get you so far - and neither the Killer nor the Priest can be 100 percent sure their rivals will not rise from the sporting dead. Commentary by Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen. Approx. 240 min.
