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

[meat puppet]

its just *** boring. and its not even like it's pogs fault.

I dunno, seems to me he's doing the pedaling thingy

 

[ppanther92]

Still a bit extreme how much the peloton seems to have given in to their faith this year. Why really not try an organized chase once, instead of Healy energy bouts.

 

[Didinho]

Mathieu started his engine. Closing in. Making his extra kg’s do his job. Hope he can still podium.

He is in the group already, right?

This is a good monument. The problem is we never get all the top 6 fighting each other. At least it's a shame Remco and roglic are not there.

Yeah with Remco and roglic that attack probably doesn't fly. Or at least the two would currently chase like madmen.

Because Pogacar is way better than them. I don't know how people don't understand this. It is like Manchester City against Coventry

 

[noob]

Mind fcking a hunt is a team role too.

would be cool to see him podium Liege, hard to see it right now. Believe he could if he targeted it more than the cobbles tho.

Yeah, it's really crazy how we've had two years in a row with only one major contender here. Really kills the race.

2020s cycling with all the crashes kinda sucks. Every season there's plenty of food for the 'battles we never got to see' thread.

 

[KZD]

Wasn’t Almeida setting the pace before Pog attacked? At least that’s what Roll and CVV were saying, I’m listening to the feed right now.

No, it was still Novak.

Almeida was far back in the group

 

[titan31]

Should be like horse racing and make Pogacar fatter in order to equal things out a bit

 

[velaso montador]

Because Pogacar is way better than them. I don't know how people don't understand this. It is like Manchester City against Coventry

he truly is something else its insane at this point

 

[ppanther92]

And at times, Manchester City also draws against Coventry. But for that Coventry has to try and not choose to not tackle.

 

[RedheadDane]

Did the graphics just claim that Pogacar won two stages in the 2019... Giro?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Great job from Israel distancing their rivals after that crash before, really seems to be paying dividends with all those riders they've got in the front group here

 

[Volderke]

Just think about it:
Only 4 years ago we had a finish with roglic, pogacar, alaphilippe and Hirschi.

This is unfortunately as boring as Evenepoel winning when pogacar crashed out.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Almeida and Hirschi really can‘t even mark attacks.

Kinda sorta, but aerodynamic drag changes the, erm, equation somewhat. Stars should not be able to just ride away. They must be a couple levels above when they do.

 

[Sciatic]

I still get surprised when Bardet is there in the main action of a one-day race—but I know he’s been doing that for many years.

 

[iBanesto]

1 minute lead now...

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Did the graphics just claim that Pogacar won two stages in the 2019... Giro?

I saw that too!

 

[nightowl]

The graphics saying Pog is 34 years old, crazy it feels like only yesterday he was winning white jerseys for fun

 

[ppanther92]

Almeida and Hirschi really can‘t even mark attacks.

They need a seminar with Vermeersch

What is the equivalent of parking the bus? Wheel sucking? Where is Roglic when you need him...

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Remco chasing like a madman. Roglic first spectator 30cm back.
