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

[KoopaCycling]

But where is the change in advantage?

Cause remco will have done marginally more work

 

[canina82]

Pogacar will attack before La Redoute

 

[Salvarani]

Sivakov looks good today

 

[ice&fire]

If I was Pogacar, I would attack in Stackeu

He's won Flanders three times attacking at Kwaremont. And he's won Liege once in the sprint and twice attacking at La Redoute. I have no reasons to expect anything original from him today.

 

[Netserk]

Pogacar will attack before La Redoute

nah

no need and no gain

 

[kamaveli]

So Remco didn't have balls to join fuga de la fuga. Missed opportunity and now he has probably wasted more kJ's than main group.
Even if it hadn't worked out, he would have received much more respect if he had actively tried to win and not only tried to secure podium spot.

Remco show is over, i fear from now on it's the Pogacar/Seixas show. Could have been different, but Group syndrome

 

[Salvarani]

Take a bow Wellens

Great work today

 

[Potomac]

poor wellens

 

[Monsi]

Chapeau Wellens

This will likely be the end of the “sit at the back for the first 130k” strat that some of the favourites have been doing, at least for the next few years.

Then they will start doing it again, and something like this will happen, and reset.

Good thing Fatco has more kJ to burn than those skinny boys

If you don't change the way races are raced, nobody is gonna change.

You don't race to maximize the result, you change the race to change future race dynamics.

You don't race to maximise the result??? What??

 

[Ulle97]

Has Remco burned much energy with the early break? Do you feel it will compromise his effort for an attack later?

 

[dobrien]

Honestly, I'm not 100% sold on Pog here; he looks to be laboring more than he should to me.














BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Kidding.

 

[KoopaCycling]

You don't race to maximise the result??? What??

Sometimes. When you play the long game and are maximising for a different race

 

[Lorzenz08]

20secs

 

[canina82]

nah

no need and no gain

No gain is very questionable. Race has been very hard and his team worked a lot to comeback, I don't know if they still have 60 km in them to put a hard tempo.

 

[meat puppet]

Predicting forum meltdown when sexiass follows the first move.

 

[Monsi]

Are we on for a Stockeu attack today

 

[Unchained]

Sivakov looks good today

Is there anything to the rumor he was going with Seixas?

 

[Revelation]

This group getting back without Pogacar even having to lift a finger is everything wrong with cycling.

Now this is more like it.

 

[Salvarani]

Is there anything to the rumor he was going with Seixas?

No idea, mate.

 

[Brullnux]

I think Remco did the right thing in not taking a risk and sending it. We know from past editions that waiting until Redoute and trying to follow Pogacar gives him a good chance of winning

 

[Boehmand]

Has Remco burned much energy with the early break? Do you feel it will compromise his effort for an attack later?

He didn't really do work in the break and was constantly out of the wind, except for a short 5 minute period on the climb (probably to open up his legs).

I don't think it makes a difference.
