Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes 2025, one day monument, April 27 (women's)

[Samu Cuenca]

It is a bit OP to have Chabbey, Muzic and Labous working for you.

 

[Didinho]

They didn’t have to pace that hard in the beginning. Just guide Demi to the Faucons.

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

What is Movistar’s tactical plan?

 

[Filippo_3467]

Movistar all-in for reusser

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Movistar and Visma should have had riders in the break.

 

[Filippo_3467]

mhm Reusser needs to finish on the podium to make that worth it

 

[Samu Cuenca]

But I welcome a strong Reusser.

 

[Didinho]

Kopecky looks really good. With Anna in front.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Kasia gone now.

 

[Didinho]

Another 2nd steep part coming up after the little downhill.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Mythical Puckerbaol descent attack incoming.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Or a Cédrine solo.

 

[Sciatic]

How can Kopecky hang in with two lighter climbers there?

 

[Didinho]

This part is also tough. If she can stay in front she got a good chance.

Kasia back.
Kopecky cracked.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

How can Kopecky hang in with two lighter climbers there?

Kopecky might reach almost Geraint Thomas-level hilarious when she's grinding up to 2nd place on Blockhaus, but as a result we should never be shocked that these length climbs are well within her remit, especially on good form and home soil.

 

[Filippo_3467]

That is a great bike race.

Le Cort is the Almeida of one day women racing.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Lotte trouble for Kopecky now.

 

[Didinho]

Kerbaol not struggling.
Great race. All the chasers will have to ride now. To get in front or let Kopecky behind.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Finally some good racing

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Unlike/like in Itzulia, messing up a roundabout may be a path to victory here.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

More chasers helping SD Worx by doing their job for them. Finally they roll in behind and let Anna and Lotte carry the can.

 

[dobrien]

Very exciting finale!

 

[Didinho]

30” seems a lot. but they have to let Kerbaol ride with them or someone will stop working.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Basically two on two now, Kerbaol struggling and Le Court shirking turns, while behind it's Anna VDB and Kopecky doing all the work, which is kinda what it should be, but isn't always trustworthy.

Kastelijn struggling here could be key though because she was disrupting anybody else from coming to the front.

I think the others up front don't want to sprint with Demi, but they can't play games yet or they'll let the group back.

 

[Filippo_3467]

They have enough time to play some games. Would be different if reusser would ride for Lippert behind or Niedermaier for Kasia. But SD-Worx very isolates.
