Just add one Pog to the poll and see who wins

If I vote for anyone else I’ll eat my hat

I'm expecting this race to have a winning time of exactly 7 hours.
Not 6:59.
Not 7:01.
7:00!

These race thread posts are getting wild

7hrs. Hmm. Maybe froome will take it. Is he racing? 45min slower than Remco sounds about right.

Mvdp will win in under 6.5 hours but it will take Pog around 7 hours. Lutsenko could either win or suck the fat one.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

full copium mode MVDP was just focussing on Liege and we'll have an actual race between Pog/MVDP

without copium mode: Pogi flies off at Redoute and we're looking at another big solo

 

[Gigs_98]

Honestly, try picturing MvdP following Pogi on La Redoute and say that's not a ridiculous thought. I know the poll here is a joke but the whole media narrative of vdP having a chance against Pogacar is not. And that's honestly remarkable

but just imagine the scenes and the cheating corner forum if he does follow

hard copium i know. its based on nothing. Not even prime Van Aert could and he's finished 3rd in this race

@Ilmaestro99 can you add profiles?

It's 260km from Liege to bastogne to liege with a lot of hills. Maybe somebody can add pictures? @Devil's Elbow @Lequack

 

[DutchDynamite]

Its hard to look past Pogi. At least we have a little suspense with MvdP on the startline (maybe its just wishful thinking).
Im really looking forward to this race.

You already outsourced the work in the Fleche tread, it's time to pony up

Here‘s a start.

Best thread start!!!

If MVDP wins in Liege it would be his most impressing win in 2024.

Best thread start!!!

It would have been better if he had written @ll maestro.

 

[Froome]

MVP to attack on la redoute and win the race.

 

[Samamba]

Pogacar/UAE will just use the QS playbook. Make the race hard, then attack on Redoute and fly away.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

most likely to happen yeah. I hope at least somebody follows Pogi on Redoute. So we at least get some kind of suspense until Roche

 

[KZD]

I see Pidcock managing to hang on to Pogačar on La Redoute if he is on a good day. But, he will more than likely be dropped before the finish.

As for Van der Poel, the only attack that I see him doing on La Redoute is a backwards one.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I voted for van der Poel to come second: I assume that's whet the second iteration of his initials means.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Here‘s a start.

Oh! They found a hill between Liege and Bastogne. I thought they were all between Bastogne and Liege.

 

[Salvarani]

Isnt the poll something a mod can change or whats the point of it as it is now?

 

[Blanco]

If MVDP wins in Liege it would be his most impressing win in 2024.

Ever!
