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

[Rou]

Remco with a little bit of arm waving already.
Let's go!

 

[KoopaCycling]

Problem is Cote de Wanne is still some km off.

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

We will see Memeco today

I fear so too! (but I have no fear, as long as this is entertaining I'm happy!)

 

[Dazed and Confused]

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.

There are many support riders in the group, all of them should work, otherwise none of the captains in the front group will be in the top 20 in the race most likely.

 

[KoopaCycling]

Remco needs them to keep up the gap of 1'30 at least to Cote de Wanne

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

Perhaps it's time to stop Novak.

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

The more riders in G1 are pulling, the more they're thinking like yolo and if they're reeled in by G2, their race is over anyway. So there is no way back for them, including Remco.

Not many captains in the front group

 

[Heston]

Sivakov and Cosnefroy still with Pogacar. Wellens pulling the peloton. Novak in group 1. UAE are fine after all.

There are not many captains in group one.
Basically if it wasn't for Evenepoel, Bernal and Hermans, it would like a really big morning break.

 

[Berniece]

Perhaps it's time to stop Novak.

If they want INEOS to do the same in peloton

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Not many captains in the front group

Somebody will be appointed, one for each team....

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

If they want INEOS to do the same in peloton

Ineos has Bernal ahead, so why would they stop?
Novak is strong on the flat. And they could keep Cosnefroy for Redoute.

 

[Red Rick]

Organisers fixing the race by not letting Pidcock get back behind cars.

 

[Berniece]

Ineos has Bernal ahead, so why would they stop?
Novak is strong on the flat. And they could keep Cosnefroy for Redoute.

I thought you wanted Novak to stop the taking of turns in G1 by taking a turn and immediately dropping the speed

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

fuga de la fuga. Not very smart riding in G1.

 

[Boehmand]

Not many captains in the front group

Evenepoel, Bernal, Martin, Frigo, Herrada, Van Den Broek and Ulissi - are probably all riders the team will invest in keeping out front,

 

[Netserk]

vamos kamp !

 

[Heston]

Alright now group 1 is toast. Its over.

 

[KoopaCycling]

Lousy stuff from G1 atm
remco should have followed those 4

 

[memyselfandI]

Novak prolly a satellite rider if/when Pogi jumps from G2..already on Wanne?

Wellens not that weak anymore..

 

[VanBsr]

I think Remco is waiting. He sholud not spend any more energy now but be happy he somehow put UAE under pressure with the move.

 

[YavorD]

Evenepoel, Bernal, Martin, Frigo, Herrada, Van Den Broek and Ulissi - are probably all riders the team will invest in keeping out front,

Alexander Kamp to do 1 of his 2 good performances.

 

[Monsi]

Yeah this is done now for the Remco group.

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

It seems that Remco is waiting; he hasn't tried to go with the attackers.
