After finishing in third place on the Mur de Huy at La Flèche Wallonne on Wednesday, Maxim Van Gils is set to lead Lotto Dstny at Liege-Bastogne-Liege on Sunday. The Belgian rider has had a strong Spring Classics campaign so far, as he finished on the podium at races such as the Faun Drôme Classic, Strade Bianche and the Gran Premio Miguel Indurain, as well as strong results at Milano-Sanremo and the Amstel Gold Race.
Speaking to his team ahead of the race this weekend, Van Gils said “we need to get as fresh as possible in the finale, I expect the race to break open quite soon as last year. Anticipating before the big explosion is also possible. If you can start La Redoute with a small advantage it can help to make sure you are up there after La Redoute. The best feeling is to put your hands up in the air, Sunday is a super big race and not easy but we will go for it”.
Alongside Van Gils for Lotto Dstny at La Doyenne will be Sylvain Moniquet, Logan Currie, Jarrad Drizners and Mathijs Paasschens, as well as the Danish duo of Jonas Gregaard and Andreas Kron.
Also speaking to the team, Kron looked ahead to the weekend, as he said that “our objective for Sunday is the podium. The strategy depends on how the race goes and the weather. Hopefully we can play our cards”.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
