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

[Samu Cuenca]

Let's hope the race will still be exciting and that we won't just get a repeat of last year. Not that there was anything with wrong with Remco's victory, but cycling is just better when it isn't totally predictable.

 

[Tim Cahill]

We need pictures so we can engage in what's really important, figuring out who's fault this all is.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Did Remco target the wrong Slovenian this year? Gosh.

It's starting to seem like a pattern. Slovenians crashing out as soon as they realise they can't beat Evenepoel.

It's a joke, hope Pog is ok.

 

[johnymax]

If Remco also crashes today, who becomes the top favourite for the day?

 

[Potomac]

Coverage on Peacock is still 7 minutes away.
Dammit!

Surely a Bahrain rider, they‘re the root of all evil!!!

At least some times they still manage.

Ben Healy

 

[Salvarani]

Landa!

Finally he gets a big win.

 

[CyclistAbi]

If Remco also crashes today, who becomes the top favourite for the day?

Tratnik.

 

[Netserk]

Terrible end of this superb spring for Pog. Every year bad luck strikes him in Ardennes i.e. false positive COVID test, family problem, being blocked by Ala and now the crash. Who can stop Remco?

Yet another example of how much worse luck he has than Evenepoel.

 

[ice&fire]

First Roglic in the Vuelta last year and now Pog in Liege. I'm starting to think that there's some sort of dark magic operating around this dude.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I'm pretty sure he was sarcastic.

I hope she was too.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Shellmoose

 

[Elos Anjos]

Ala.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Remco is not the new Merckx, he is the new Nibali afterall

 

[JosefK]

So the women's race Colbrellied Pog.

 

[SarahtheDane]

I hope she was too.

I was!

Also, still have the cake I baked yesterday

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Eddy Merckx himself predicted a Evenepoel to win earlier this weekend. I didn't want to spoil it for you guys earlier.

It's true, he did.

Ala.

I would actually like that a lot.

 

[RedheadDane]

Also, still have the cake I baked yesterday

I want some!
But since that probably isn't possible, I'll just have some of these:

Seems fitting.

Evenepoel is likely better than last year, and there's a tailwind in the finale instead of a headwind.

 

[SarahtheDane]

Pies are good too. Don't forget about pies. And doughnuts.

I'm with you on pies. Doughnuts? Not typically fond of them, but they're probably better when homemade!

 

[johnymax]

When was the last time Pogačar crashed out of the race? I can't remember if it ever happened. Today when the whole cycling world was anticipating the battle between him and Remco this sh*t happens. Crazy stuff... almost as strong as Nibali voodoo

 

[Aimar16]

Yeah man. I'm also really bummed that when my girlfriend gave birth to our children, she got warm hospital meals and a bed while i had to go to the cantine as if i didn't do most of the work.

Probably God's punishment because there was no marriage

Realistically though speed doesn't affect the quality of racing, it's not like women's athletics or other endurance sports are any less enjoyable

Let's be honest, do you think women's bike races are really of a good quality?

Damn! Half an hour ago, I mentally kicked myself for not having those in the house..

Also, it might be possible, geographically.
