La Flèche Wallonne 2025, 23rd April

[Rackham]

Nys overrated as expected. Pog meanwhile with a demolition job way above expected. 10 second gap on that climb is enormous - even by his standards.

Incredible punch performance.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Chapeau Pog, he looked like he actually had to put in an effort climbing up Huy for the third time.

Also, not sure where Pidcock was all race, but congrats on third place! And congrats to Arkea on second place, always nice to see a Bianchi make the podium.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

This race missed Roglic

Yes, you could entertain yourself in the final 50km spotting him out of position on each climb

 

[Red Rick]

Anyone got the climbing time?

Total destruction. No one is close to him in this type of classics.

What else is there to do in Fleche before the Mur de Huy.

Anyone got the climbing time?

It was raining, probably not a record.

"Thibau Nys"

What kind of classic?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Looks like it's only Pogačar who had been watching Betancur's attack on repeat since Sunday.

Healy tried, but died a bit in the end. Vauquelin was very strong, but he clearly lost the game of strip poker.

 

[Peyroteo94]

What kind of classic?

Hilly classics

 

[gregrowlerson]

"I think I won?"

Not Pogacar, probably.

 

[Berniece]

Hilly classics

Like Amstel Gold Race?

 

[rallybanana]

Biggest winning gap since 2003?

If Pog had really watched it he would have come out of the saddle to attack out of the first corner.

 

[Salvarani]

Skjelmose is fine, just some contusions.

Tell Vinge that

 

[Mayomaniac]

Quickstep right now:

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Healy finishing 5th at the Puncheur world championships shows how cooked a lot of the guys were.

 

[yaco]

Three pedal strokes and Pogi put ten metres on his rivals. Super impressive!

 

[E_F_]

Tell Vinge that

Concussion, no concussion. Concussion, no concussion. You could literally compare Skjelle's crash here to his own one in the Itzulia.

 

[Rou]

Can't wait for Remco's interview today.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Can't wait for Remco's interview today.

Why?

 

[RedheadDane]

Skjelmose is fine, just some contusions.

It's kinda funny how Reedtz translated it to "blå mærker", and "contusions" sounds... somewhat bad. "Blå mærker"... I get those walking into stuff.

 

[Rou]

Why?

Waiting to hear the excuses, mate.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Nys overrated as expected.

He did better than i expected tbf. It was a hard day, he survived and was there where he needed to be, but he still lacks the engine, his punch was gone. Imho this was actually encouraging for the future. Like i said in other threads, make it hard and you can cook him, he still needs to improve overall.
