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

Robo Remco Robotnik and his Death Egg laid waste to the peloton once again

Looks like the Death Egg has a bit more power this year compared to last year. As Bruyneel said, no reason to even hold the Giro as it is going to be a slaughter

Pidcock recovered well from blowing up in remcos wheel.

Good show by him for sure today; when he was first dropped I thought it was lights out for him.

 

[Vino's Mum]

A class above. Two starts, two wins.

Good for Pidcock that he recovered after trying to stay with Eddy.

Healy's sprint is in the category of Woods

 

[Bolder]

Remco is just a ball of power right now. He looks so fit.

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Blythe compensating for calling him a spoilt brat.

Blythe fancies himself as a fashion guru and likes white shorts.

 

[Third Time Lucky]

Haha, Buitrago looking like dying

3rd.

 

[jono]

A race with only one alien is much less interesting than a race with 2 or 3. Pogacar would have made it interesting. I think even WVA or MVDP could have threatened the podium.

 

[Leinster]

Ok, that was a strange move by Healy

He had to go early, because he was never likely to get anything out of the sprint, but it did look a bit like he didn’t give it 100%.

 

[postmanhat]

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

One of his better finishes tactically. Was the best of the rest, but looked like he was going to blow completely after trying to follow Evenpoel. Recovered well and rode, for him, quite cleverly in the last 30k.

Blythe fancies himself

That's my impression, too

Same guy who cried when Roglic could match his attacks

Blythe =

 

[Didinho]

I keep repeating myself, but I dropped Buitrago with ease on the Worlds recon in Leuven.
Missed opportunity for podium here.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Madouas must have incredible endurance. That's the second time in a week that he's pulled a result out of absolutely nowhere.

Remco looks like a different rider but the Giro is another animal altogether; that said Remco is obviously ready for the fight.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Martin has now finished 6th in a monument. The top dogs should fear him come the Tour.

 

[ppanther92]

Konrad showing why he should have been Boras Ardennes guy. Really not sure what there plan was. Konrad for sure would have top-10ed Fleche Wallone as well.

Now there placings were AGR - 12th Hindley, FW - 67th Denz, LBL - 8th Konrad (second best Bora rider not in the top 30).

I get why he lost his spot as GC leader there with Hindley, Valsov, maybe Higuita. But as long as Schachmann does not rise from the ashes like a phoenix he for sure would have been their best man in the Ardennes classics.

Hilarious, where did you see that, on The Move?

 

[ppanther92]

Yes, he had to try but it looked so half hearted and when they immediately were at his whell again, he just kept pulling.

 

[dazaau]

Congrats to remco, he did as expected and was a monster. We were however robbed of great entertainment tonight. Such a shame.

 

[Cassirer]

I really don‘t enjoy the new cycling normal. Big 6 are just too far away, feels wrong and a bit pointless. He started goofing and chillaxing so far out when the normals were having a fantastic fight which just didn‘t really matter (here its about Remco, Same goes for the pogi and wout/Laporte Shows). Fun when there are 2 or 3 mutants but The Solo Shows are tiring at this point

 

[Elos Anjos]

Reporter: How does it feel to win but still to be 2nd?

 

[Krzysztof_O]

So cograts to Remco on a great ride and victory! There was no doubts who was the best today. The finale was anticlimatic though and the suspence was gone once the Cold Weather Monster crashed.

Pro cycling, and especially the classics, at the moment really needs that more than one of these four shows up and finish without accidents. If there is only one of them, we get races like AGR last weekend and today's race.
