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

[DJO]

And there's the obligatory arm wave...

Remco's poor performance isn't normal . He should at least be third.

That's why I think it's mental; when Pogacar hasn't been there, Remco has won Liège very easily.
He has proven to be far superior to the rest here.

That was before he hit the postal service van door; that crash really seems to have messed something up with him. He is far away from the rider he was when he won Liege.

Pogi looking porno

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I can't think of anyone in sport or in life who had their physical prime at 19, I think suggesting he's peaked here is copium

Even Ayuso, the posterboy of peaking early, was still improving at Seixas' current age.

It's only the Pogi faithfull who are saying that.

My hope is a couple of those super talents born in 2005 and 2006 make a similar leap forward in the next few years.

 

[dobrien]

It is so sad to see Remco reduced to this.

 

[VanBsr]

What I do not understand In today’s cycling is how strong a G3-G4 rides for a 3rd place in comparision with how they ride to get Pogi/MDVP/Seixas back

We mock Evenepoel, but he was right that Seixas' engine drops in the last bit of long races. As can be expected, he's 19 and this is the third time he's raced this distance

Yes. And most riders take a significant leap after their first GT.

 

[KoopaCycling]

But why would you think that when just recently he took a big leap forward from already a great level last year?

cause he's been cycling for years on a high level in a good environment. I think the gains still to be had are minimal. Like Ayuso

 

[Salvarani]

Remco flat attack

 

[SorelyBoy]

Why these claims that Seixas is already at his peak? At 19. Before he’s even ridden a single GC. What historical precedent justifies such claims? Might as well say Pogacar won’t peak until he’s 35. It’s more than a little silly. I suspect Pogi fans are on the copium.

This is less engine and more going deep into the red in the first half of RaF.

How quickly people forget the big jump Pogi took only a couple years ago. How old was he again?

Pogacar ahead in first: We sleep
Skjelmose ahead in third: Real asterisks

 

[Boehmand]

Damn...

 

[Salvarani]

Schmid to get 3rd?

 

[Rackham]

Pog has just murderized everyone. I don't think 'engine dropping' has got anything to do with Seixas getting blown off the wheel like that. It's just the level.

 

[Netserk]

skjelmose lost third on redoute

 

[Rou]

The gap in strength between Pogacar and Evenepoel is mental.
I did not expect this.

 

[Brullnux]

This is less engine and more going deep into the red in the first half of RaF.

It's clearly both. He held on during the thermonuclear attack and then imploded during the second

 

[the asian]

They are not riding for the win, but riding for the UCI points for the minor places.

 

[ppanther92]

Poor Skjelmose - if Seixas was on his leve, they would easily ride to 2/3, now caught again even if a clear level above Remco and the bunch on the climbs

Who is suggesting he's peaked? He'll get better but not by much anymore methinks
