VIDEO: Race over already? Tadej Pogacar breezes clear of rivals with ease on La Redoute

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!

- I can't believe he even made it back to the professional level. It's so good to hear his name called again in a Grand Tour. His Tour de France podium speech was one of the most gracious I can recall in many years.

- I agree with Tom's stategy for UAE to take the offensive. As shown in his tt performance, Roglic is in excellent form. He's being patient, pacing himself, saving his energy for a few decisive stages. Look at how far down his teammates were on stage 7. He gave them the day off to save their legs too. Today they deliberately gave up the maglia rosa to Astana, who will defend it fiercely for the UCI points. Brilliant strategy, taking the pressure of the team until the crucial final week.velodan17-05-2025
- Good news. I’ve done two weeks of riding there between 1200-2200 and never once noticed being at altitude (but did see benefits upon returning) except on a hike after the two weeks feeling a little nauseous half an hour around 3400 but then nothing anymore all the way up to 4500. I once heard altitude sensations are less intense near the equator but can’t find much to support that.Mistermaumau17-05-2025
- I love to see Bernal back in front. I hope he can seriously go for the podium
DareDevil17-05-2025 - That is if the championships actually take place there this year.
MrCampy17-05-2025 - Wout is Right. They should be arrested. I mean they can't even protest right. The item holding isn't even Palestinian, its mesopotamia and used by many groups, well before the idea of a Palestinian Arab existed. I just hope the Italian police act but I wouldn't be suprised if they don't. It's time we all stand up to these terror supporters.HoopoeChai17-05-2025
