🇧🇪#LBL ¡SANTIAGO BUITRAGO, 3RO DE ESTA LIEJA! ¡PODIO HISTÓRICO PARA COLOMBIA! 🇨🇴

Whilst all the talk following Liège-Bastogne-Liège will be about Remco Evenepoel for his brutal victory and Tadej Pogacar for his unfortunate fall. It is worth noting the man who achieved a third placed finish, the impressive Santiago Buitrago.
The Colombian climber from Bahrain Victorious moved perfectly in the finale to arrive with podium opportunities at the end. He attacked in the last kilometres with two of the best classic riders of the moment, Ben Healy and Tom Pidcock, playing his cards right at the end with a great attack that left the EF Education-EasyPost man without options and although he could not beat Pidcock, he took a historic Liège-Bastogne-Liège podium for Colombia.

- If you look at road alone obvi Pogacar is the better rider. But maybe MVDP is the better overall rider since he can win in three plus disciplines?mobk23-12-2024
- Correction on 2021 Olympics. It was mainly the Dutch ladies who didn’t know who was leading the race. Other teams like the Germans and Italians knew that Kiesenhofer was out front.mobk23-12-2024

UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
- I wouldn’t assume Tadej can’t win at cross. He did a cross race, not a World Cup, a few years ago and crushed the field. It was a minor race. But he can win anywhere.mij23-12-2024
- I wonder what would happen if Pogacar attacked on the Cipressa instead of the Poggio in San Remo? Would MvdPoel still be able to follow?Ride197423-12-2024
