VIDEO: Race over already? Tadej Pogacar breezes clear of rivals with ease on La Redoute
CyclingSunday, 27 April 2025 at 15:36
Everyone and their dog knew Tadej Pogacar was going to make a move on La Redoute at Liege-Bastogne-Liege 2025. Predicting it and actually doing anything about it are two completely different things though, as has just been proven!
Inside the final 50km and with La Redoute looming, Pogacar started to lurk ominously in around 3rd/4th wheel of the peloton. The pace of the peloton was soon properly rapid however, as UAE were swamped at the front by Lidl-Trek and the INEOS Grenadiers. Notably though, Remco Evenepoel was all alone and in a far from ideal position towards the latter half of the bunch. Because of this, when Pogacar made his move - a seated acceleration at around 35km to go, no one could respond.
Although closer to the top, Tom Pidcock and Ben Healy started chasing, Pogacar summitted solo. Is it race over already? See the initial move for yourself below!

- Vingo is the best Dane cyclist. He's the only one who beat Pogi two time in Tour de France.
James2631812-05-2025 - Its a pretty easy comparison, Jonas is the best. Look at his opponent the Best rider of his generation and 3rd best of all time Pogi who he has beaten twice in TDF. Pedersen cant even beat MVDP in monumentsabstractengineer12-05-2025
- Did the person who wrote this article catch any of last season and what happened? Cut the guy some slack and stop feeding of someone else’s hard times, the above article is pretty redundant.Jezla12-05-2025
- Hey, all great and deserving of respect but let’s not look at things too pinkly. He’s only just above Marc Hirschi in the UCI rankings. He’s had the potential to do this for the last 7-8 years, it’s just all come together at once, having his moment. Maybe he went on a secret HA camp :-) Seriously though, he’s NEVER said he doesn’t believe in it (challenge: find me that quote), he said he hates it in words that would get an F1 driver punished, and for the same reasons that his fellow countryman Jonas gets crucified for, being away from family (though given team budgets, there is an obvious solution to that). Besides, not very professional of media and pundits to linger on past out of date sayings, he’s more or less changed his mind in the meantime and is no longer categoric about refusing to try.Mistermaumau12-05-2025
- I don’t think that pays off in cycling, you never know when your next problem will happen, injury, illness, crash, and using so much time to prepare for a big goal risks being very disappointing in a short career.Mistermaumau12-05-2025
- I love Remco but this year is a write-off. The smart move would be to treat it all as preparation for next season.Renz12-05-2025
- What you forget about hunting is that time is on the side of the hunter. You’d be a fool to underestimate rivals who haven’t peaked and I doubt you’ll hear any riders including TP or JV brushing him off like you’re trying. He’s done one GT against them, his first, what were you expecting? Still way ahead of any other contenders and that as a first-timer.Mistermaumau12-05-2025
- Its appears that way. Repeated crashes take a toll on the bodyabstractengineer11-05-2025
- He cannot hunt down something that he has never been close to in GTsabstractengineer11-05-2025
- He's just not the same after the crash at La Vuelta. I hope the knee injury does not "Chris Froome" his career.
