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

[Tim Cahill]

The arm is out, trying to shepherd people through!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Remco just used his signature Move

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Remco reduced to domestique duty for Hindley. Why a complete fiaso

 

[dobrien]

It looked like Pogacar blew himself out on that climb. He eased off at one stage and I can only assume he had to.

Agree, if he could have dropped him there I think he would have, that did not look tactical to me.

 

[Boehmand]

He needs less fat, by what I saw: good enough for short hills but not lean enough for these 4-5 minute efforts.

It's not fat, it's muscle - and that is a more difficult trade off to make.

Every gram you drop is power lost - but less to drag uphill.

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

Curious about the comments from Remco about Paul's stamina.

He has endurance, but it makes sense that Remco thought he wasn't enough, since a few months ago he was significantly weaker than them.

 

[Leinster]

No matter what comes of it, some ride by Seixas up to now.

The Good Shepherd

 

[Netserk]

Suck him hard

until hes diamond

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

Remco's problem is mental. He doesn't seem weak.

 

[RedheadDane]

This week's episode of taking turns with Pogacar.

I think it looked rather cheeky.
"Hello, Tadej. Guess what; I'm still here!"

 

[Ulle97]

He weighs 3-4kg more than at TDF

Very disappointing from Remco. I thought he was better than this.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

That group in it for podium is huge, there must be some random pro conti nobody we can support

The fact that nobody but the aliens can force separation between themselves and the 25th-best rider in the race for the third year running says quite a bit about the strength in depth right now.

 

[Rou]

After today Robespierre will be living rent free in Pog's head.

 

[Red Rick]

Where were you when El Jaigerbomba dropped?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Without the two robots put front it would truly be an open race. All the forum favorites there. Scaroni. Champussin. Eulalio. Izagirre. Schmidt. O'conner. Ujtedbrockes.

 

[KoopaCycling]

Can Seixas sprint?

 

[Berniece]

Pogacar also weighs more. It's obvious from looking at his legs.

Sure, but even those 3-4kg’s isn’t enough 😂

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Hindley on the podium would be really nice.

While I don't condone it, it's a lot different when you do it in your first monument than when you do it in one you've done three times already.

You can also look at it the way that he has plenty of monuments ahead of him (many of them probably w/o Pogacar).
Can't stand this "dont ride with Pogacar" talk anymore. I prefer 100x Pogi to "kill" another race than for anyone else to put a wheel ahead of Pogacar on the finish line after hiding behind him for an hour

It's asterisked anyway with Cadena not racing.

You are in the minority here to say the least.

I think it looked rather cheeky.
"Hello, Tadej. Guess what; I'm still here!"

"Uh, fine. I'll drop you on RaF, then"

 

[Ulle97]

Can Seixas sprint?

Yes

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

Pogacar seems too fat.
