Liege Bastogne Liege-7 hour monument, Sunday, April 21, 2024

[Squire]

If Pidcock goes top 10 after all that, I'd be amazed.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Panic stations in the group as they come to the shocking realisation that Simon Yates has made it back

 

[Red Rick]

Annual petition to take Rosier and Desnie out of LBL and replace them with Col de Targnon because the Rosier/Desnie section takes out all the action before Redoute

I would be surprised if Yates features in the finish as he's struggled will illness since the Alula Tour.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Canal abandoned, that looked really bad

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Why are they helping UAE ffs

 

[velaso montador]

the boss man said wait so they waited now we got a race

He'd have done better to sit on the wheel of MVdP

Riding a slower tempo uphill will benefit their leader.

 

[AmRacer]

Climbing team forward

 

[AnotherArmChair]

MVDP looks like he is saving himself

UAE seems to know that.

 

[velaso montador]

slippery roads. I dont think the peleton are together at the top of Col du Rosier

Outlandish car pacing. At least we’ll get to see what everybody’s got. Too bad Pidcock made that huge push

 

[Froome]

Why are they helping UAE ffs

Probably they want to try to make the race hard on the flats, to cause some fatigue on Pogacar and slow him down in the climbs.

The question is, why they are helping Fausto.

It was outrageous, but it was just the last 20sec gap it seemed. UAE really turned it off. Not sure why after all that effort tbh

Very few riders stronger than a Simon Yates 3 days before he loses 25 minutes in GC

 

[Samamba]

Whoever is still wearing gloves and a rain jacket is laughing right now

Let me furiously check if Simon Yates is racing Romandie

Almeida without sleeves.

Is he doing Romandie?

UAE rode exactly the way they planned before the race probably, I don‘t think they rode any harder because Van der Poel was behind, they still have six riders in the group. I‘d argue they‘ve been keeping too many riders actually.

 

[Peyroteo94]

There is a race more predictable than Liege? Seriously, just wait for La Redoute to have a race

They will go hard when it matters. The route is hard enough to make a difference. Even if they just go hard for 1 climb.

Not going slow either this climb.

I don't think so either. Israel - Premier Tech on the other hand...
