- Cycling is funny like that, you can be struggling for weeks, feeling like you’re tied back by an elastic and you can’t seem to find a solution and then bam, one day you’re flying like it snapped. Don’t know any other sport where you can hve such huge swings from one moment to the next.Mistermaumau24-04-2025

- The champions of Amstel chugging contest are also the champions of this race. Coincidence? I think not :)
KerisVroom24-04-2025 - " I can only blame that on the cold"... mmm... maybe you can blame the Mur de Huy. Even with 25°C you are far away from Tadej in hard climbs (and from Jonas). And this is a tired Tadej... Imagine a Tadej at 100% of his shape.. Wait for Liegi that suits better for you (rain or not rain).

- Yes, that would make it close to impossible but who says he will be doing both every year, at so e point he too will get sick or injured or crash and be out of action and someone else will have to win.Mistermaumau23-04-2025
