When he took off his jacket i knew it was over for memeco and the rest

On the other hand, Remco said taking off his jacket made him lose the race.

Congratulations on winning Flèche in grand style.

 

[Lorzenz08]

He took off like a rocket compared to the others. Incredible !

 

[James M]

The biggest winning margin ever in Fleche Wallonne when the riders started Mur de Huy together.

Remco was a victim of premature unjacketing.

HAHAHA. This will never not be funny. Not out of disrespect to other riders, but how dumb can George be as a former pro?

He's consistent with his pro days...

Remco was a victim of premature unjacketing.

Now I can't defend him anymore. He is acting like a prima donna and making excuses for his poor performances.

 

[Oldman]

Maybe you are right but weather was relevant today. He is a beast in rain. LBL will not have rain and they (all of his rivals) will race against him after this performance.

I think the last 500m had all of his rivals close enough to touch him....right up to when they couldn't. They always/all race against him.

One thing that no one mentioned yet, Pogacar was 16 seconds faster (in similar weather, maybe last year was colder) than Williams (winner of FW 2024). 16 seconds!

LBL is his kindergarten. People underrate how that route favors his climbing ability. And we will have a new climb on the menu, the hardest climb in the race (Col de Haussire - 3.9 km at 7.2%.). This climb will do some damage even if it's too far away from the finish line.

His kindergarten is Lombardia but I agree that out of the three Ardennes races, LBL is the one that suits him the best so Pogacar is the clear favourite.

Today's performance also gives me hope that he will manage to build a nice buffer before the Tour mountains arrive because there will be several walls in the first week.

He has been unlucky in LBL. He could have won more LBL but in 3 ocasions, he was unlucky.

The reason behind Pogacar's seated attacks

Tadej Pogacar worried about teammate before and during Flèche Wallonne: "Then I heard he had crashed…"

Tadej Pogacar showed on Wednesday in the Flèche Wallonne that he was the best rider in the race. The Slovenian from UAE Emirates-XRG danced on the steep sections of the Wall of Huy, leaving his compet...

The difference to Williams is big.

Fell off

Pogi looked cooked today at the finish line, not sure if it's a good idea to continue like that, too long spring campaign racing on the highest level.

One more race and then 1 week of vacations

1 week after that spring idk if this is enough . I hope he will be good for the Tour after that classic campaign

 

[Boehmand]

@tipsnstars on Twitter posted an interesting fact.

At Fleche Wallonne Pogacar was the oldest rider in the top 10.

Pretty sure that's the first time in his life that has happened

 

[Oldman]

The difference to Williams is big.

Especially considering he didn't really launch until the last 400m and posted up with his lead for the last 25m.

Cant be harder than doing the Giro 4 weeks before the TdF.

I think its especially PR who really took a toll on him, but with some rest after LBL I believe he will be fine.

Not sure about the Vuelta though especially if Vingegaard offers a big fight on the TdF.

Another brilliant win by Pogi at La Fleche Wallone! He looks shattered though. Definitely needs to rest. I think Paris-Roubaix in particular wore him out a bit. Not enough to stop him still winning races though! That guy is amazing!

Btw, is there somewhere to share photos on here?

Lol, I've no idea how to find the right site to upload photos on to then link them to here. Years ago I used to use Photobucket and that was easy to use but then they became a pay service and I haven't used anything like that again since. Could you please recommend a photo sharing site I could use, that most people tend to use to share photos on here? I found one site but it said that my photos would be to store privately, only viewed by me. I want one where I post the links to on here, to share. I don't understand how any of this works.
