Mustardy flowers.

 

[Sciatic]

Exactly

Those that ride both Amstel and today, are the ones who don't believe they can win Liege.

The races should be spaced more.

Unless it's Pogacar . . . or 2011 Gilbert

Pogacar never won the triple though

 

[Sciatic]

Pogacar never won the triple though

True, but he would still believe he would win Liege after riding AGR & FW

 

[Taxus4a]

Wallone femmes is a 30 Km of Huy?? and men at 25??, are they going to join the races?

They are slower and they have 5 km more, but any men who get the line 10-15 minutes behind the wiiner will be catched by Femmes...

67km for the women says PCS.

 

[Boehmand]

For those who got bored and are not watching, the fight for position is on now, the speed is going up and the break will get caught shortly.

 

[Samamba]

Hirschi never crashing to 2 times in 2 races

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Hirschi done

 

[Samamba]

Major stress moment in peloton just to then probably not do anything on the climb.

 

[DJO]

Hirschi, collarbone?

Yeah, for the finish.

And Laurance taking a run.

 

[Heston]

Laurance with the Froome impression

 

[red_flanders]

Dang, just slammed his head on the tarmac. Ouch.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Laurance with a Froome reenactment

 

[Boehmand]

Laurance doing the Froome

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Yeah, for the finish.

Ah! Sorry my brain is slow today. Gotta get a coffee.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Flecheprijs...

 

[Sciatic]

The Ineos/Sky legacy of running up the hill carries on!

 

[memyselfandI]

Chris Froome all over again!

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

Igor Astarloa is still the Goat of this race, capable of winning without waiting for the final Huy.

 

[Rou]

Crash fest

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Laurance should just stop and ride in the opposite direction before rejoining the peloton for the final ascent.

Yes, like Pogacar in 2023 and 2025
