Having come into Liège-Bastogne-Liège in good form after taking the overall victory at the Giro d’Abruzzo the week before, Alexey Lutsenko put in a strong performance at La Doyenne, as he finished in eighth place, his best result in a Monument of his career.
Speaking to his team after the race, Lutsenko praised the work of his fellow Astana Qazaqstan riders, as he said “my teammates were incredible today. Simone Velasco and Christian Scaroni helped me to keep my position and moved me in front before La Redoute, the main climb where, actually, the race started. In the beginning it was Igor Chzhan, who did a great job for me, an invisible job on TV, but an important one for the team”.

The Kazakh rider will be hoping to continue to carry his form into his next race at the Tour de Romandie this week, as he went on to say “I am really happy with the team today and now I am leaving for the Tour de Romandie, where I’d like to continue pursuing a good result. Well, a top-10 is a good result, but of course a podium would have been the icing on the cake”.

But it's no poisonous since you breathe it everyday. You get too much water in your lungs and you ALSO die of asphyxiation. But tell me, other than bonding with hemoglobin what is deadly about carbon monoxide?Sweep13-11-2024
- No, it's not poisonous. You breath it in every single day of your life. If you live in a dense city you breath in 10X what a rural person breathes. It kills you by asphyxiation. You breathe in water and it also kills you by asphyxiation. Poisoning is a misnomer. You drink too much water and that kills you also. Is water poisonous?Sweep13-11-2024
- Different eras, different equipment, wildly different training with nearly robot-like nutrition requirements, and so on. The thing you can compare is the relative success of riders against their rivals. Maybe it’s fine to just say they stand above the rest of their generation, and be happy with that.RidesHills13-11-2024

- Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is poisonous and flammable. It is produced when carbon-containing fuels like gasoline, natural gas, or wood are not completely burned. CO is a common hazard in the home and the leading cause of poisoning deaths in the United States.awp13-11-2024
