The 112th edition of Liège–Bastogne–Liège takes place on Sunday, 26 April and marks the final race of the Ardennes Classics and the last Monument of the spring. With Pogačar, Evenepoel and Seixas set to go head-to-head, it promises a spectacular finale. 

Going to be a nice battle

It was until it wasn't.

Pog is on another planet.

 

Kudos to Sheeeeeshas, the 19yo. What a season so far 👏

Seixas is one for the future for sure 

but yet another class effort from Pogi

whar happened to Remco? 
must have been so frustrated with work rate of the group as was quite apparent!

 A hat trick for Demi 💪💪💪

Seixas' WorldTour career bursts open after a remarkable few weeks. His team will deliberate over the next few days whether he will be at the Tour de France. Here's hoping that he can stay at Decathlon and not get usurped by one of the super wealthy teams.

That's a lot of low numbers.

 

 

He's contracted for the next season still, which kid of points towards them throwing him to the tour, hoping they hold him back from the TDF this year as the french are really good at hyping and ruining their best GC riders. - hope he has an agent that has a long term plan in mind and doesn't chase $$$$ now.

Just when I thought Pogacar was a freak of nature in cycling parlance, along comes a 19yr old who will in all likelihood surpass even Pogi's achievements!

 

The evolution of human biology is staggering.

He is young, so I hope they gently nurture him and don't rush him into achieving success with HUGE pressure risking burnout etc.

Send him to the Tour! If he is good enough then he is old enough.
