After being beaten by Tadej Pogacar at Flèche Wallone, Mattias Skjelmose looks into Liège-Bastogne-Liège result
CyclingSunday, 23 April 2023 at 04:00
Mattias Skjelmose is on terrific form and looking for success at Liège-Bastogne-Liège. He has talked about how he would be targeting a podium as he has achieved at Flèche Wallone, as he leads a strong Trek - Segafredo through the toughest and last of the Ardennes classics.
Second atop the Mur de Huy and eighth at Amstel Gold Race were both strong signs of form from the 22-year old Dane who will be Trek's main weapon this Sunday. However he won't be the only one as Giulio Ciccone has also had a strong spring campaign with both wins and strong GC results to his name, and has this Wednesday finished fifth at Flèche Wallone.
The team could see both Bauke Mollema and Juan Pedro López on the offensive as they have for the past few weeks hinted at that type of racing. The lineup is filled with quality riders featuring Tony Gallopin, Julien Bernard and Jacopo Mosca.
Trek - Segafredo for Liège-Bastogne-Liège:
Giulio Ciccone, Julien Bernard, Tony Gallopin, Mattias Skjelmose, Juan Pedro López, Bauke Mollema and Jacopo Mosca.

- Both scenarios are complicated: Sky's approach made the grand tours boring, but everyone just racing for second place (like is the case nowadays) also drains the suspense (except maybe for Pogi's fans).Ride197428-04-2025

- Totally pointless considering you cannot compare riders who spread across different disciplines. What would Tadej win on the track or in cyclocross or MTB or even against the better sprinters? Would he get a world hour record? Just enjoy what he’s good which is one-day and stage road races, for some, that’s all there is to cycling just like scoring goals would be the only metric that counts in football, which is almost the case.Mistermaumau27-04-2025
- Utterly delusional.
ScottG27-04-2025 - Healy has to be the gamest guy in the peloton. He is always at the pointy end when things are tough, and he never throws in the towel. The break was essentially caught. Pidcock sat up, but Healy pressed on to a desperate (and apparently hopeless) surge from Ciccone. I'm so glad to see he got the podium for his initiative and courage.

- Well, now he’s tied with Coppi, Girardengo, and Kelly at 3rd on the list of monument winners. He’s been on the podium for the last 6, winning 4 of them. And for the third year in a row, he and van der Poel have each won two - something no two riders had managed before 2023. Anyone placing bets against him in Il Lombardia?RidesHills27-04-2025
- Remco will make it back strong, he still needs some time. Crashes suck and some are tough to get over. The best way back is to race and he's doing that.awp27-04-2025
- Such a privilege to watch Tadej race. Time will tell just how great he is but it's nice watching such a great athlete race in our time.awp27-04-2025
