There's not long to wait now until the fourth monument of the 2024 season is here with Liege-Bastogne-Liege. Although perhaps not one of the fancied teams, Team DSM-Firmenich PostNL will take to the start with optimism.
Led by Romain Bardet, fresh off the back of a top-5 finish in the general classification at the Tour of the Alps, Team DSM-Firmenich PostNL coach Phil West wants to see the team ride the race on the front foot. “La Doyenne, the Queen of the Classics, and perhaps the toughest of all to round out the Ardennes campaign awaits us on Sunday. We will aim to ride a proactive race, ideally so that we can have numbers late into the day," he tells the team's official website.
"With Romain Bardet and Kevin Vermaerke we then have options to tackle the race on several fronts together," West continues. "As ever, with modern racing we can expect the final to open early so it will be important for us to invest energy in those moments so we come into the finish in a good way, and can play our chances. In a race like this we will need to be really sharp as a team and back each other up so we can go for the best result that’s possible on the day.”
Team DSM-Firmenich PostNL for Liege-Bastogne-Liege 2024:
Romain Bardet
Kevin Vermaerke
Chris Hamilton
Romain Combaud
Enzo Leijns
Matthew Dinham
Martijn Tusveld

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
