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

[Boehmand]

I'd argue this is the best Bernal we have seen since 2021 - and I'm here for it

 

[Salvarani]

New climb Col du Maquisard coming up

 

[Salvarani]

Houle paying the price for his earlier efforts

 

[Unchained]

No but it's his only condition to win, especially given that Pogacar is always asleep in the first hour.

I would play it differently.. Early efforts were interdependent on quality in the break, Remco sure but everyone else baked off and same UAE chase, Ineos worked thinking Bernal has something.. If I was young Seixas just counter everything and don't try anything overly dynamic

 

[Red Rick]

Alway asleep? Give me some examples please.

Last Roubaix, RvV multiple times,

He is better off waiting for an inopportune puncture for Pog.

Chris Horner's favourite climb?

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

Last Roubaix, RvV multiple times,

Last Roubaix? He was in the lead when he got the flat tire.

In the first Tour, the crosswinds happened when he was changing bike because of a puncture.

Last Roubaix, RvV multiple times,

Last Roubaix? Are you talking the first flat he had? All UAE were in front and if he didn't have a flat, MVP would be screwed.
RVV multiple times, I don't remember so I will see those races.

 

[Salvarani]

Last Roubaix, RvV multiple times,

Eh, what? I dont remember much of that or it being anything like that, mind you it was a crash in the peloton today.

If anything, it is often MVDP who has been fallen asleep in races like RvV. Or got caught behind.

And how has it become a "habit" or "always" as you claim? Elaborate.

No there was a big break in the peloton in the first hour that he missed.

 

[Unchained]

Are these tired tactics or tried and true for UAE? If someone stays on Pog' s wheel might be a pleasant surprise..

 

[Poursuivant]

Chris Horner's favourite climb?

Bo Hamburger’s.

 

[peterfin]

200km done at 44 km/h. The legs will feel heavy for many.

 

[KoopaCycling]

25 more km to go or so before the race begins again

 

[canina82]

Last Roubaix? He was in the lead when he got the flat tire.

No, he is talking the first time he had a flat. That was his second flat.

 

[meat puppet]

Chill. Pog is not only the most awesome physical specimen ever but also his racing IQ is 7 wtfs/kg.

 

[Netserk]

schachmanns attack may be the only one before pogi goes on redoute

only pulling and positioning until then

 

[canina82]

No there was a big break in the peloton in the first hour that he missed.

Don't tell lies. He had a flat. For that reason he was the only UAE out of the front.

 

[KoopaCycling]

Story of the race so far. 3 domestiques of UAE and some help from Decathlon destroyed a group of +50 riders.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Last Roubaix, RvV multiple times,

You mean MVDP?

 

[Salvarani]

No there was a big break in the peloton in the first hour that he missed.

Flat = falling asleep. Got it.

 

[Berniece]

You mean MVDP?

Him too, but was a couple of years ago

The group self-destructed...
