Spomin na dan, ko je Slovenija dobila prvi kolesarski spomenik | 24ur.com

Tadej PogaÄar bo v nedeljo lovil že svojo Äetrto zmago na zadnji v vrsti prestižnih spomladanskih klasik, LiegeâBastogneâLiege. Äe mu uspe, bo to že peto slovensko slavje; za prvega je pred Å¡estimi leti na najbolj dramatiÄen možen naÄin poskrbel Primož RogliÄ, ki se je v zgodovino tako...

That moment, when Slovenian cyclist won first ever monument. Interestingly Google AI thinks Pogi won the first one in 2021. Well yeah, it's hard to tell them apart.

That was a victory for Hirschi or Pogacar. Ironically Roglic won thanks to a a movement that was DQS.

 

[CyclistAbi]

So will Seixas revenge JA or will Remco become true leader at Bora. Or will Pogi just waive them off like a bad Monday.

Or none of the above.

Rogla won and in the process beaten world champion, the rest were behind. Moho with cramps and Pogi with facepalm.

Look getting swerved into by Alaphilippe is a feature, not a bug

Masterclass positioning and determination. I am happy that Rogla won by finishing first and that it wasn't due to relegation. So we know who won and what was going on behind, that is less important.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Yeah, we can say that first ever Slovenian monument win and Tour win, both where rather special and memorable.

Yet if the pedal was on the other bike we’d never hear the end of it if Ala blocked Roglic.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

2014 and 2020 had the worst finishes ever. Dan Martin should have won both times.

Can we at least agree that that was the pinnacle of Ala's career? He made lifelong fans that day (at least 2 on the forum, anyway).

If you weren’t a fan beforehand, could you even call yourself a fan afterwards?

Tadej launches at Roche aux Faucons. Can Seixas and Evenepoel stay on his wheel?

 

[Heston]

Alaphilippe, Lenny and Aranburu all removed from the starting list today. Massive asterisk.

LBL 2020 was magically connected with the next year's Ardennes classics. In FW 2021 Ala got his revenge for defeat against Rogla while in LBL 2021 Pogi got his revenge vs Ala.

First they have to stay on his wheel on Redoute…

No, then Rogla would still have won, due to the relegation. And some would always bring that up, on how Rogla wasn't really the winner, as he finished second and won only due to relegation. On where now photo finish is sufficient proof. Rogla won by a mile.

I give in
Getting older my memory apparently tricks me, but just this moment it came to my mind that in a recent edition Thijs Benoot (I think it was?) took a vacation in the woods, at the sharp left hander just after the bridge. And this way leads to the backside of Hony.

You won, well done

I remember in 2019 one of the Astana riders (one of the Izagirres?) missed that turn in that very cold Edition

Bingo! 2019 - Ion Izaguirre in the Astana Jersey

Did I already say that Mr. Funny aka Evenepoel has 0% chance to win this bike race?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I believe it was Wayne Gretzky who once said that you win 0% of the races you don't start, and then Roger De Vlaeminck added that if either him or Merckx also started them your odds would be 0% no matter what.

How could Roglic win if the roles were reversed and he finished third?

 

[CyclistAbi]

@SHAD0W93

Because he was better.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

How could Roglic win if the Romes were reversed and he finished third?

Which Romes? Rome, Italy and Rome, Georgia? Or is Rome, New York involved as well

I just want to see hard racing all day, and at least five guys battling in the last hour!
