I wish the cycling press would stop asking old man Merckx how Pogacar compares. Merckx is irrelevant to modern cycling.
Did anyone hear why Remco didn't finish? Just weather? Or was he afraid of something else?
'Cuz he was humiliated leading on the first ascent and then fading knowing he had fired his one bullet in the chamber.
Remco behavior was very strange... after his attack, one of my friends has seen him abandoning with 4 minutes delay... and crying. I asked: "are you sure? maybe it was the rain", "no no no, he was crying". I don't know.
That makes sense. he abandoned because he got something in his eye.
"humiliate" is a perjorative
term that is not appropriate in this context. Please use a different word.
He humiliated no one. Yes they were well beaten but it is condescending to say they were humiliated.
He came, he saw , he conquered and the rest settled for 2nd
Nothing that Pog does should surprise anyone anymore - especially his rivals.
He didn't humiliate the rest. If he raced all oxut to the finish, then it would be a humiliation because the gap would probably be above 4 minutes
I started watching the race in the last 12k. Tadej demolished them and in bad conditions to boot!
Astonishing, yet not surprising, once again. Both the attack and abandonment by Evenepoel were surprising, and it was nice to see Pidcock like that at the end. I’ve driven that route in a car, and it’s so very much steeper than the cameras show. No long slog last climb slow motion sprint, this time. Does this suggest that maybe someday the Mur de Huy won’t be a sprint at the end?

- 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
