Liège - Bastogne - Liège 2026, one-day monument, 26th April

[SHAD0W93]

No way UAE let Remco go with the break, he must have 100% sneaked in which means a big failure from UAE to not spot that. Thanks for the no TV coverage.

There was a crash at the start that caused the split.

 

[KoopaCycling]

Not yet. Don't count out the aliens.
MvDP closed 2 mins in Roubaix..

And gap is closing. Now lower than 2'20.

 

[YavorD]

That also depends on who else is in that group. If you never won anything, you pull.
If you are a champion, you only soft pull with pogacar, never more.
Pogacar just that much better. But who knows , Seixas might be up there soon as well.
Maybe Seixas can ride different against Pogacar. But remco, MVDP, Van Aert, need to soft pull.
Vingegaard needs to both soft pull and just pull.

Oh, okay. You don't pull with Pogacar, but you pull with Remco in a hilly terrain in a race that he has won twice, right?

 

[Netserk]

Of course it's better to pull.
It's better to pull as much as you/your team can. Most riders won't get a better chance for a top 10.

But most of people (except for Pogacar fans) wouldn't be saying this if Pogacar was in the front group with/instead of Evenepoel.

a lot of pogi fans are fighting straws and what they imagine other people could possibly say in the scenario they make up

without engaging what is actually said in the concrete scenario that is unfolding

 

[Rou]

A lot of passengers in G1. Gap will decrease and Remco needs to work more than he wants.

 

[KoopaCycling]

Climb needs to end fast for G1. And then they need to work (domestiques) on the flatter parts.

 

[Brullnux]

Yeah the gap has been annihilated on the climb. I suppose that's why UAE were holding something back. I think Remco needs to go on Wanne/Stockeau

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Denz is being dropped now

 

[Snake]

When the gap goes down to 1.30 remco should go

 

[Monsi]

Denz getting dropped up front

 

[No Excuses]

Denz gone

 

[KoopaCycling]

Not looking good for G1 and remco atm

 

[Wvv]

redoute is still a long ways off. If Remco has 1.30 by then i'd be surprised.

Read again x

 

[Rou]

Probably the hardest LBL in a long time. Will see how Seixas can handle it.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Denz is on very good form, was pulling for a long time like in Amstel, usually he waits until Roglic crashes out before pulling this kind of rabbit out of the hat.

 

[KoopaCycling]

Once this climb ends G1 needs to organise fast or it's over for them
Unless the peloton fails to organise as well. (unlikely)

 

[ice&fire]

Tactical genius from UAE to isolate Remco so early

 

[Netserk]

soon it will be good for the breakaway to ride against evenepoel

see how much he will pull , try to get away in a group without him

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Sainbayer dropped. Switched off.

 

[Rackham]

It's still a great scenario for the race and makes a usually boring monument so much better.

 

[Monsi]

Expecting really big gaps at the finish. This has been such a hard LBL. Won't be surprised if the race opens up much earlier than Redoute.

 

[AlfaLum]

Smart thing to do for Remco would be to drop back.

 

[Taxus4a]

O

@KoopaCycling Remco is not Pogacar, but in Liège he is far superior to everyone else who isn't Pogacar.

For Liege how you Know Remco is not Pogacar. They have never race at a good shape this race both of them.

 

[KoopaCycling]

I want to know where Verstrynge is at

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

Tactical genius from UAE to isolate Remco so early

Do you think the useless directors of UAE have thought about that?
