Tom Pidcock headlines INEOS Grenadiers' hunt for Liège-Bastogne-Liège title, Sivakov and Sheffield second options
CyclingSunday, 23 April 2023 at 01:00
INEOS Grenadiers have confirmed their lineup for the upcoming edition of Liège-Bastogne-Liège and will hope that Tom Pidcock shows his best form in what is the final spring classic.
The Briton has been struggling with long races over the spring and this will definitely be a challenge at La Doyenne. He's recently finished third at Amstel Gold Race but was underwhelming at La Flèche Wallone as he suffered with fatigue at the end, but will hope to be fresh for what should be his final day of racing for the foreseeable future.
Straight out of the Tour of the Alps comes Pavel Sivakov who rode to 7th and also Laurens de Plus, both of which will be well warmed up for the climbs. Magnus Sheffield, Michal Kwiatkowski, Omar Fraile and Connor Swift complete a lineup that is quite strong and where every rider may have a shot of attacking the race.
INEOS Grenadiers for Liège-Bastogne-Liège:
Laurens de Plus, Omar Fraile, Michal Kwiatkowski, Tom Pidcock, Magnus Sheffield, Pavel Sivakov and Connor Swift.

- It’s not a matter of equality whatsoever because you wouldn’t tag along with everyone, you are targeting a specific person to follow which in fact means YOU are creating the inequality by considering that person is worth following more than some other random person. This is getting like the free speech absolutist trying to shut up people who reply against them.Mistermaumau29-01-2026
- There are a lot of desperate nobodies out there who can’t keep the satisfaction of an encounter in their private circle but hope to be in the spotlight for 15s by association. I guess you’re thinking of this Artem guy but at least he’s kind of known by riders and probably asks? This is only the beginning though, soon there will be tour guides taking groups along the training routes in the hope of encountering someone, a mix of the Hollywood home tours and safaris. I don’t understand the obsession when you can basically meet plenty of ex-pros, even Tour winners etc. in person once they open their retirement shops or organise training rides for enthusiasts.Mistermaumau29-01-2026
- Actually, it’s more a case of obstruction of the rider behind by messing with his Oxygen mix ;-) (and many are more Sulpho than Nitro by the smell of things)Mistermaumau29-01-2026
- Your logic holds at best during a race and even then, public is supposed to leave riders space and alone, hence authorities who move crowds for riders even at the busiest of climbs. You seem to have an almost perverse sense of intimacy celebrities should allow the public in the name of ENTERTAINMENT. If even training is now part of that entertainment then you know what, make the whole business pay-based. And even then, ask the price for tagging on. before doing so.Mistermaumau29-01-2026
- is this the top tier cyclist caught doping we were promised ?
ChillingCyclist29-01-2026 - Farting while you're on a sprint is mechanical doping. It gives you temporary nitro boost. It's fair to report that.
KerisVroom29-01-2026 - It's a good one, maybe we'll find out 1 day why...
leedorney29-01-2026 - Simply put, the blogger posts to show how he was keeping up with a pro rider (otherwise, he wouldn't keep looking down at his computer and record the numbers). Nothing more to this than vanity and whoring for attention, and when an accident happens, the better for the blogger to get more attention through clicks, and as a result more people commenting (like me) and can subscribe (not me) to the so-called wanna-be instagram 'blogger'. How the world has changed for attention.b3tlla29-01-2026
- Can anything in sport happen anymore without drama, accusations, and sensationalism from social media types? Let it be for Christ sake.
Brucegel29-01-2026 - I see. From a different perspective, all people are equal. If I was standing beside a cycling "star" and a cycling "public" person, there would be no preference of attention given to one or the other. I appreciate the pro cyclist performances equally with others.itsent29-01-2026
