Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2023, one day monument, April 23 (men's)

[Pirazziattacks]

You should feel better that there supposedly is another robot who would supposedly be riding 2 minutes ahead of this one.

What is this, the cycling equivalent of Madrid vs Barcelona? Who cares, there's no suspense in it.

 

[Didinho]

Looks like my Sunday ride.

 

[Danskebjerge]

We need a monument for sprinters. This is getting too predictable.

 

[red_flanders]

Did Adam Blythe just call the guy with rainbows covering himself, white shorts, and a rainbow bike…”humble”?

 

[Filippo_3467]

This is just a bad look for road cycling. The GCN commentators can hype it all they want but those phases of super domination never ended well for cycling with a few years of distance.

 

[Leinster]

The group racing for 5th in a monument are sitting up and looking at each other like a group racing for 2nd in a GT stage…

 

[Gigs_98]

Looking like Pidcock's gap here will be smaller than in the AGR. Just saying...

 

[DNP-Old]

He's not even tired.

 

[dobrien]

And if we’re being honest, he’s been soft peddling since he top of the Roche…

Remco is finishing in the easy chair; I have no doubt he would have at least been Pog's match. Bummed we are deprived of the duel but it is what it is. Finishing it off in the rainbow is a big deal; his team was immense too.

It's really unfortunate that Remco is Belgian. This would go down like a lead balloon if he was english or american.

 

[Filippo_3467]

give Remco a 10 minute lead after Crans Montana so he can soft peddle the rest of the giro

He'd be at the tour then

I think that is the most likely scenario. i don't think Roglic can keep up with that Remco at all + he crashes a lot.

 

[Andy262]

Chapeau, demolition job. Surely Remco needs to have a go at Flanders?

 

[ppanther92]

Looks like my Sunday ride.

So you are also celebrating several kilometers before home already?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Missed Pog but congrats to Remco. What a beast!

 

[Didinho]

So you are also celebrating several kilometers before home already?

When I'm riding alone, at 65km from the finish.

 

[red_flanders]

Good man, Pidcock, well deserved!

 

[Andy262]

Shame Healy never made the podium. Deserved to.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Just submitted a complaint to my TV provider, they were showing a replay of last year's race rather than live images. Can anyone fill me in on what I missed today?

 

[kingjr]

If you think this win by Remco was impressive, just wait until Tom Pidcock gets some endurance.

 

[ppanther92]

Ok, that was a strange move by Healy

 

[Tim Cahill]

Felt a bit sorry for Healy there, deserved a podium, not much he could do but go long and hope they blink.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Tom P made two good moves
one optimistic
one realistic
and got second.

 

[Riek s]

Pidcock recovered well from blowing up in remcos wheel.

Blythe compensating for calling him a spoilt brat.

Same guy who cried when Roglic could match his attacks
