Liege Bastogne Liege-7 hour monument, Sunday, April 21, 2024

[Tim Cahill]

Race has played well into Van Der Poel's hands from here, barring the holdup. No real attacks, mediocre pace, still got some teammates.

 

[Sciatic]

Still 60 riders in the front group. That's too many.

The difference from the Ans era is that we know that today it’s not going to stay that way till the last big climb.

 

[ppanther92]

Novak riding for Pog, while Hirschi and Ulissi are saving themselves for glory in 2.1 races

I know but at some point someone in the team should sit down with them and telling that in the team there is one big star, a few semi stars, and they are neither. At least not in the races that matter. A Wellens, Del Torro, Großschartner, Majka, Bjerg, Novak and so on are able to get that. And therefore also more valuable for a team like UAE.

 

[Lequack]

No. Pogacars attack will look more spectacular with Pidcock and VdP loosing his wheel.

@mou is that you?

True but I still do not see him match Pogacar on a 3-4km climb.

 

[Didinho]

With the sun it looks time to remove your last jacket for the final. After this climb. Pacing now.

UAE pulling hard on the climbs.

No question, Hirchi and Ulissi have no business here after MSR. But UAE....

 

[postmanhat]

Soren-Kragh done. Just Laurance left for MVDP?

 

[Didinho]

Maybe Hermans?

Lutsenko looking bored. The race is back on.

 

[Red Rick]

Bora managers have looked out the window and asked the race jury if they can switch in Roglic after all

 

[Samamba]

Williams struggling.

Skjelmose looks really good

 

[Berniece]

Maybe Hermans?

He has a free role, won't work until they are together after the last hill I think

 

[glassmoon]

guess ipt worked for nothing

 

[postmanhat]

Maybe Hermans?

Lutsenko looking bored. The race is back on.

Could be. I find it difficult to tell them apart?

Edit - it is Laurance.

 

[MartinGT]

Blythe almost crying at Williams going backwards.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Hirschi and Ulissi are not staying in UAE. They are useless

 

[meat puppet]

@mou is that you?

Mou is in the teamcar

 

[Potomac]

There's a bunch of EF riders left.

 

[ppanther92]

Skjelmose looks really good

Freezing until half dead - new prep unlocked

 

[Didinho]

Could be. I find it difficult to tell them apart?

Guess it’s Laurence in front. But I ment the group is still relatively big, so normally Hermans should be there. Think I saw him just in the back.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hirschi has 4 top 10s with a podium, he would've won here in 2020 without Alaphilippe's deviation, he was 2nd in Amstel last week, of course he should be here.

 

[Squire]

Bernal looks good. Pidcock dropping back during the climb.

 

[Samamba]

Bernal looks good. Pidcock dropping back during the climb.

Well yeah Pidcock ruined himself trying to bridge not realizing he could just ride behind his own car to the front

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

How is LBL a "monument" but Strade Bianche is not? Ridiculous.
