Liège - Bastogne - Liège 2025, 27th April

[E_F_]

all spring long, complaints of Pogacar attacking from too far out and makes a race boring.


Now the race is boring because he isn't attacking long range

I'm happy to complain about different types of boring races being boring.

For sure. I've sort of resolved myself to the fact that there will be complaints about the course, tactics, and riders no matter the course, tactics, or riders. Sometimes I still let it annoy me, but it'll never change.

Even the best races have long boring stretches, which no course design will change. This race used to go down to the last couple of climbs. Attacking from Redoute seemed quite unusual when it was done a couple years ago.

 

[Netserk]

Must say this is underwhelming.
I mean the peleton playing all the cards to UAE/Pogi?

It has been like this for a long time, this approach to Redoute scares everyone and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that is reinforced every year. Wind doesn't help.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Remco‘s team is very weak, just Schachmann positioning him now

 

[Didinho]

Trek road block a la Dwars incoming on the Redoute.

 

[Stubb]

Remco already gave up? What's he doing so far back?

 

[iBanesto]

Strenght of UAE impressive. Four doms left before La Redoute.

The White train is strong...

(doesn't have the same ring with that nickname... )

 

[Filippo_3467]

Brenner really good at positoioning for Alaphilippe today. A pity that will be for 20th place.

 

[No Excuses]

Eurosports ad breaks ...
So annoying

 

[Medvind]

Please no crash

 

[Netserk]

The real race is about to begin:

Diogenes, bring your lantern here. I have found an honest man.

 

[Sciatic]

froome washing machine cadence

Still waiting for Vingegaard to do a turn...

 

[Didinho]

Remco not good enough it seems. Or too careful. Will be hard to get in front now.

Even farther back now.

 

[Netserk]

UAE well positioned. The race will last ~30".

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Evenepoel out of position here means the race is probably over already.

 

[tobydawq]

Remco far down in the bunch.

 

[iBanesto]

La Redoute - Let's f----- go!

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Where the *** is Ramco?

 

[rallybanana]

Not sure if I've mentioned this before but I was once attacked by a crow in Remouchamps

 

[KZD]

Remco very badly positioned at the start of La Redoute while Pogačar, Healy and the Tudor riders are in front. Doesn’t bode well for him.

 

[Medvind]

Jesus Remco.

 

[LookProGoSlow]

So much for evenepoel 🤨

 

[Potomac]

Im watching the Australian feed.

It seems Harry Sweeney is dominanting this race!
