Liège - Bastogne - Liège 2025, 27th April

[postmanhat]

Quite amused by Laurance finishing ahead of Pidcock for Ineos.

 

[Mayomaniac]

I mean, he looked hurt at Fleche after the crash, no wonder he wasn't good today

Yeah, it was more about how impressive their overall team strength was.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

could have been even better im Scaroni had done a bit of work. But maybe they were the ones who paid off IPT instead.

They were possibly also hoping Scaroni could finish in the top 20 or better.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

And for Velasco as well.

Go Astana, go!

 

[Red Rick]

My commentator kept on saying Remco had not raced for 7 months, I think the lack of training is showing.

Racing is overrated, he'd been to altitude camp and everything.

Quite possible he got sick in Fleche, but I don't buy it's just a lack of racing.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Remco capitulated like in the Vuelta 2023.
Let's see his excuses tonight but I don't think it's health related.

If not, what a loser.

Definitely think it was another mental collapse.

 

[MJR]

5th for Nys. Impressive.

I'm more in the lack of training camp, not necessarily racing. I don't think he's quite there yet and today was pretty strange. (Waiting for his interview...)

 

[EddyMazzoleni]

Yes, Nys overall was pretty good here and in Amstel, given these were his first 250+ km races. Bagioli can be strong, unfortunately he is wildly inconsistent

The rain jacket affair.

My opinion aswell

 

[Krzysztof_O]

So congrats to Pogacar on an impressive victory, his 3rd in LBL and 9th monument (tied 3rd all time). Nobody even tried to follow and then he easily built his gap. Remco was cooked at the end, no suspence at all. Good for Healy and Ciccone, who fought well and got top3 places.

BTW what a spring classics campaign: two monuments won (RVV, LBL), podiums in another two (MSR, PR) plus victories in Strade and FW. The best classics spring since...?

 

[Rou]

The funny thing is Ciccone looked strong and finished second. 3 days ago Storer made him look like a pedestrian. Just a small wink about Michael. LoL

They were possibly also hoping Scaroni could finish in the top 20 or better.

yeah, sure, but today there was much more to gain than to lose.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Didnt someone mention Ala and Stockeu before the race? Good shout

@topcat

 

[houtdffan]

Definitely think it was another mental collapse.

Vuelta 2023 was not a mental collapse.

He even said what was going to happen before the 2023 Vuelta. If he could not win, he was going to lose time and focus on stages. He was not riding for podium that year as he said a podium meant nothing to him

 

[RedheadDane]

They're having the podium ceremony  now?
What happened to waiting, and switching over to the women's race?

SO CLOOOOSE

Well he beat Remco........

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Good to see Healy's wild 'do back, hopefully he won't crop and bleach his locks for the Tour again.

 

[scribers]

Healy is always in the mix but almost no wins. Seems like an anomaly

 

[Devil's Elbow]

POV: you started watching cycling after Sep Vanmarcke retired.

 

[Sciatic]

Bizarre that it could be years before we get someone other than MVDP or Pog winning a monument.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Yep, three skinny riders will easily fit on the top of the podium

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I think you mean aneurysm.
