I think there's a slight chance that Pogacar will have a slight off day because the real goal is Liege. But then he also seemed very disapointed last year when he couldn't ride.

Yeah, similar to how he rode the warm-up races before Lombardia last year.
He is coming into these races in better form now though. He had to ride himself into form back then. Here he might want to go for the win in both races. Ronde ended in disappointment for him, after he had ridden such a great race up until the finish, so Im sure he is motivated now to make these races very hard.
He will try and go for the double here in the Ardennes.

I was thinking this, but surely not really allowed with Ala in the race?

Surely with Ineos winning all the classics, it's Pidcock who will win this.
I’m sure he’ll be attacking every couple km for the entire second half of the race if the last few races I’ve seen him do are any indication.

It still blows my mind that 2012 Gilbert managed to finish 3rd here.

I will miss Dan Martin starting the climb at the bottom of the group.

I believe that year had had a bunch of hard weather, Rodriguez won by a huge margin yet his time was very slow. By far the slowest Mur de Huy finish since 2009.
Thanks for that. Shame we won’t see the Roglstomp. Looking at that he seemed to have it wrapped up for all money.
I don’t think Ala is on top form and that he won’t be able to drag it back if Pogacar does a 400 metre all out effort.

Pog should win this EZ.
Only thing that can stop him is Vingo taking him down with his signature "uphill crashing" style.

Is Wout racing this? He is listed for LBL.
Pog's team for the race is really, really scary. I'm predicting Ala's record to be beaten. Pog might do this climb in 2:37 or something.
Remco should really give it a go on the penultimate Mur.

You could knock me over with a feather if this isn't an uphill sprint between the favorites.

So this race was never decided in a puncheur sprint before 2004, after which it was never decided by a breakaway?
That seems bizarre but makes sense given the names of the winners.

Yeah, Pog was very disappointed with false positive COVID test last year. He wants to hammer the Mur for sure. As for his form it could be declining actually (to have time to build the monstrous July peak) so he can be stronger here than in Liege. BTW he's been pretty silent in recent weeks, nothing new on Strava as well. Why isn't he posting record-breaking Mur recon to make Ala&Bala withdraw?
