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

[Monsi]

Too many passengers now in G1 and Remco not wanting to cook his legs too early.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

I don't think he will. G2 will catch them, and then it's just following Pogacar. Unless they have 1 minute at Stockeau, but doubt it at this pace

We will see. 1 minute with 80 km to go should be enough for Remco to launch (maybe not alone but initially with a few other guys).

 

[the asian]

They are all trying to save, because the big accumulation of climbs start in 25K

By the way, things are going, they'll be caught before getting to de Wanne.

 

[Heston]

Is Novak in front? Someone said it was Novak from Movistar.

It is both. Number 5 from UAE is in the front group.

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

Mercenary Veistroffer trying to save the Day

He's looking for a contract with BORA. I'm not criticizing him; these things are common in cycling.

 

[Boehmand]

Why is Lidl sabotaging G1? There are enough guys willing to work but constantly someone refuses to take over.

Both their captains are in the peloton, they probably want the gap to come down to where they can jump to the break

 

[Dazed and Confused]

70% of the riders in G1 will be dropped by the first acceleration, but now we have to wait 2kms for the Wanne climb.

Does anyone know what happened for Pogi to miss the big split ?

 

[Berniece]

We will see. 1 minute with 80 km to go should be enough for Remco to launch (maybe not alone but initially with a few other guys).

I agree, but it's still 30-40km to Stockeau. G1 needs to go faster if they want to keep this lead

Does anyone know what happened for Pogi to miss the big break ?

The same that happened to every other favorite except for Evenepoel, Bernal, Hermans. They didn‘t ride at the front which is not unusual

crash

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

Thanks. It's strange they didn't stop him. Wellens could have pull afterward.

 

[Boehmand]

Don't think so, a lot of riders in the break are giving what they have now, until the climbs start.

Wellens took back a lot of time on the last climb, but it's stabilised on the flat part.

Caught behind a crash.

 

[No Excuses]

Remco working now

 

[Monsi]

Interesting. Remco now pacing himself

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Pidcock mechanicaled into no man‘s Land behind the main Peloton

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Interesting. Remco now pacing himself

it is the only way to get a cohesive pull at this point.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The average speed will be hard to beat in future editions. It makes the London Marathon look like a foot race.

 

[Red Rick]

Pidcock mechanical

Asterisk this now

 

[KoopaCycling]

oh wow jusr 1 minute 20 now

 

[Krzysztof_O]

I agree, but it's still 30-40km to Stockeau. G1 needs to go faster if they want to keep this lead

yeah, the gap has been going down rather quickly. Wellens doing good job.

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

I just said Remco can do two things but it seems he's doing the 3rd thing: pulling through / working. I don't know if he'll get some G1 riders crazy enough to work with him.

We will see Memeco today

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

G1 could easy rotate at this false flat descent without much effort. On this kind of terrain you have a big advantage against just two guys pulling but they're fumbling this.
