Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2021 (April 25th)

Ignore Pogacar.

Mollema gets 8th in gorgeous, legendary Mollema fashion

I like how he was chasing in the background and at some point was just shaking his head and waving the lead is too far away. VDP must have been proud of his compatriot lol

I told to a friend during the Tirreno Adriatico that Pogačar will win 10 GTs + monuments. This only reinforces my opinion. What a rider.

 

[BigCoward]

Will dominate the sport for next decade, ridiculous consistency.

I thought that was going to be Evenepoel?

 

[Escarabajo]

Nice race. Pogacar won. He is probably the only cyclist that I don't like in the Worldtour. I need to find a way to like him if I am to continue watching cycling for many years. At least he give us good action in the races.

Nice to see Carapaz giving us a little scare.

Great work by Pog, but Alaphillpe completely messed up his chances there. He needed to be right on the wheel of Woods / Gaudu with Valverde leading out the sprint, but lost a few bike lengths just before Valverde kicked.

He had to put in a massive amount of work to get past & dragged Pog with him who flew past as he ran out of gas.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

We got it wrong. Valverde's race number meant he was going to finish fourth for the first time.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

HE

He tried a sneak attack and got caught. He also took 3rd in the sprint so very very clearly it was Woods and Bala needed to attack early more than Davide did

What sneak attack? The moment when he thought about it before a corner and pulled up? Or did I miss one?

 

[Poursuivant]

I thought that was going to be Evenepoel?

Hopefully both, because it is boring if it is just one dominating.

Unfortunately, he is the same era as Remco

 

[HelloDolly]

Pogacar is so good its scary

Ineos tried but after all their work nothing

What about him don't you like? He seems like a nice kid, and a great rider.

 

[Asero831]

This is a proof that Pog could have won last year

 

[L.Suds]

Roglic vs Pog at the Tour is going to be interesting. Both flying atm

 

[johnymax]

Poga played that like He had the experience of a ~41 year old

He is very smart and has amazing race craft. He's been showing this time and time again.

 

[railxmig]

Don't forget that on paper Poga's sprint is at least on par with (B)Ala if not even quicker. When he came into spotlight in 2019 i called him next Valverde but apparently he transformed into full terminator mode.

 

[Velolover2]

At least, Liege has become a much better race with actual tactics after the Ans final has been removed.

Next thing is retiring Col Du Rosier which is only the wet dream of a climb for a chasing domestique.

 

[Fernandez]

Did Alaphilipe raced in cold blood mode or did he just leave others bring him to the lead group?

I dunno I haven't seen any tactics on the new route at any point.

 

[saganftw]

i was really impressed with alaphillipe, he rode a smart race, even let some of the favourites get away only to make one crucial mistake in the sprint that cost him a victory

pogacar showed multiple times his recovery into sprint is maybe second to van der poel, his battles with roglic in tdf will be amazing

ineos with a classic bamboozle lmao

 

[Lequack]

Better finishing image

I personally would also get rid of that Forges climb as it only adds unecessary flat after Redoute and make up the kms with maybe some hills in the first part of the race.

Pogacar is the best cyclist in the world.

 

[sir fly]

Not even top 10 for INEOS after such a display of power... ah well... GTs are coming.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Ineos gave a flagrant display of tactics today

 

[BlueRoads]

Poor Julian. Would have loved him to win. Also Gaudu would have been a nice winner. Well.

 

[RedheadDane]

I was kinda hoping for Valverde or Woods, just to show that you can still win big things despite being old.
And of course they were last in the group...
