After taking victory last weekend at the Amstel Gold Race, can the INEOS Grenadiers finish the Spring Classics on a high at Liege-Bastogne-Liege?
In the winner of the Amstel Gold Race, Tom Pidcock, INEOS take with them one of the viable challengers for pre-race favourites Mathieu van der Poel and Tadej Pogacar. Although the bad weather ended the Brit's hopes early at La Fleche Wallonne, confidence remains high within the INEOS Grenadiers team for their leader.
Another option for the INEOS Grenadiers on Sunday will be multiple Grand Tour winner Egan Bernal, who has shown some signs of a return to form in the earlier part of this season, including podiums overall at Gran Camino and the Volta a Catalunya. Michal Kwiatkowski, twice a podium finisher in Liege could also have an important role to play. Completing the side are Ethan Hayter, Omar Fraile, Laurens De Plus and Brandon Rivera.

- Seems farfetched - I agree. Mas has beaten him once. Giro d'Emillia I think - 2022mobk20-12-2024
- Barring injuries, by the time Pogacar's dominance fads there will be lots of new young talent. Pogacar is about 1 1/2 years older than Remco. That's nothing.Sweep20-12-2024
- I actually don’t find that too impressive. In my later forties I did similar figures for a 3.5% gradient as a total nobody with no wind assistance. Am sure there’s margin for improvement there, especially looking at all the names on that list.Mistermaumau20-12-2024

- The race where he overnight suddenly turned nuclear after being packfodder at best for several years. His Sky days after that Vuelta and Pogačar’s last season shall remain the darkest post Lance stuff cycling has witnessed. Good riddance Froome.
UltimateOpportunist20-12-2024 - Finishing the Vuelta seems to be a reasonably attainable goal. Getting on the team to do that will be the more difficult challenge.
santiagobenites20-12-2024 - To be fair, he has now stated his fuel regime had been corrected and the results concur.Mistermaumau20-12-2024
- You can look at things mathematically sometimes to get a better understanding of performance distribution. To be an elite cyclist you may need a number of qualities, say 8 some of which are quite obvious (engine), some more debatable (body type). If you look at distribution you’ll get a whole bunch with 6 or 7 very elevated values but 1-2 not so perfect and occasionally someone will pop up with all 8 really well developed. However, statistically, for that to be a given the chances drop by about an order of magnitude each time so in general for each 2 at the top you’ll have 20 at the next level, 200 at tge 3rd, 2000, etc. I don’t see the actual distribution as so weird, we have a few too many right at the very top level but statistically it’s just because for the past 15-20 years there wasn’t really anyone clearly standing out, level 1 was bunched with level two.Mistermaumau20-12-2024
