Remco Evenepoel Plays on EASY MODE after Pogacar Crash | Liege-Bastogne-Liege 2023 

We'll have to wait a little longer before we get the ultimate throw down between those two. Would be cool if MVDP and WVA would also join in.

How could you leave out Kron's epic 'Simpson into the bush meme' moment. Expected more of you LR

Those Belgian fans though, damn. Standing out in the rain three deep, have to be the best fan-base in all cycling. No privacy anywhere for a pee break.

Remco weighs only 62kg and is only 171 cm tall. Crazy power output. And aero.

Scaphoid fracture in the wrist is no joke. It rarely ever heals back to 100% because of such little blood flow. Broke mine 6 years ago and till this day its bothers me to do anything requiring bending my wrist like a pushup. Hopefully Pogacar recovers fully cause this bone is an annoying one to break.

bad luck this year with no WVA-MvdP duel at Roubaix and now Remco-Pog

Thanks for this review. Absent Pogacar from the race, Remco definitely the strongest & very wise to slow the pace on the final set of descents in that rain. Pidcock again hitting the energy wall and then recovering his legs after loading up on calories.

Credits to the entire team though....especially van Wilder!!!

Thank you for your high quality uploads :)

First ten seconds of this vid has more excitement than the entirety of LBL!

Pogacar should recover sufficiently in time to be ready for Le Tour. The scaphoid can be a tricky thing to heal, but having access to the best medical care will definitely help.

It's midnight on la Redoute. A diminutive figure dressed in all black looks around nervously as he stencils the face of Remco on the road.

Ben healy has always been there which is amazing and never gets much mention. I wonder if we might see him get some stage wins?

🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻Great teamwork from Soudal Quickstep.

World champion kit looks so good with white shorts.

Amazing Remco, back to back Liege wins. Does he save Quickstep's classical season. Not entirely. But if Remco wins the Giro, it is already a good trade off. And then there is still the rest of the Season. Don't forget that before Alaphilppe was collecting the big wins for Quickstep.. Lefevere always had stars that made the difference.

To do that in that jersey. Wow, just beautiful!

Ciccone doing this as he was coming down with COVID too! One of the last people to see Remco today after beating him and Primoz at Catalunya. I'm excited!

I was thinkig about your RRRRRRRRRRRRRemco EEEEEEEEEvenepoel as I was watching the final kilometers :D

Always good analysis from LR.

Devastated by Pogi crashing out... Great video as always. Thx LR

The virginal monk has descended from his volcano abbey and blessed the belgian ardennes with his holy waters 🙌

Remco looks like he was on a Sunday casual group ride, gave one effort up the last climb, and made it home first.

Chapeau Remco !!!

We wuz robbed. So it was with WVA and MVDP at Roubaix, so it was today with Pog and Remco. For shame.

Outstanding summary

That intro to the vid deserves a like.

first 3 seconds were my favourite

Noiceee! So timely, so expected, for the video... So unfortunate for Pogi...😢

Remco looks quiet stunning in the Rainbow.

Wonderful stuff LR, despite the introductory surrealist warbling (is this your new signature tune?) which frightened the life out of me. More power to your elbow, if not to your lurid vocalisations!

Needed Primoz (and Pogi obviously) to make this race really interesting, race for 2nd was entertaining but Remco just mandingoed the whole peleton at will.

Raw, sustainable power. Interesting abilities

Nothing boring seeing Remko pouring away in his saddle wow. That made it all. Crashing is expert of the race. No room for distractions. Pog will be back soon.

Underrated cheeky little joke about Remco painting his own face on the road. Completely on brand for Remco though. Thanks for making me laugh Lanterne!

4:35 Philippe Gilbert face ^^

Release merch on your website

That intro was funny AF 😂

Landa and Mas dropped at 80K, Pog crashed, no Jonas/Rog/WVA... Wasn't it an easy win for Remco ?

Best thing was sivakov attacking just to get dropped

Yes, at least a partial save of Quicksteps spring classic season.

Yesss, you did it first thing!!!!!!!!!!

Loving the humour LR

Was Ben Healy wearing a glucose monitoring sensor on his right arm? Seemed like it. Kristen Faulkner was DQd recently for exactly the same thing.

Two fractures in the wrist for Pog. He will not be able to train out of the saddle for a quite a while, and it may affect his ability to fight for bonus seconds and stage wins, especially considering he will not be able to work in the gym as he is used to. TT might be a problem too, since the wrists are in such an awkward position. He should be able to train on his TT bike with suboptimal hand position, but he might need to change his setup because of this. Probably a lot of stationairy training. Wrist injuries can be minor, but sometimes they are a huge problem. I had one a few years ago, with no broken bones, but immense pain. I couldn't _run_ for almost 3 weeks. Yes, I could not even jog (with a proper bandage), becuase my wrist hurt too bad.

Pee break commentary on point 👌😂 #lethimwee

Super impressed by Osborne, today it’s the first time I see him competing at high level in cycling after he started transitioning from rowing a couple of years ago. I’m curious to see how much more he can improve. The guy won a silver medal at the Olympics, serious stuff

Bravo to Remco, but what a discovery Ben Healy is.

If the white skinsuit doesn't look good on Evenepoel it doesn't look good on anyone. It does not look good on Evenepoel. Dropping Pidcock off the wheel is a flex. Well deserved win for him.

Instant like after that intro

It didn't just rain it got cold aswell, which as we all know saps your energy.

If Pog's scaphoid doesn't heal with UAE, he'll have to move to Jumbo Wristma

Keep the comical commentary going .. hilarious 👍

It was Phil Gil face on the floor

Director 'Hey Remco, Liege is gonna be wet today'........Remco 'OK, lets go with the white shorts'

pfff i was just starting to turn to a differant opinion and even associating his name to a possible giro victory but now i caught myself thinking 'i bet he has a louis vuitton sportsbag and the giant headphones at trainingcamp'

Remco looking like a ghost 👻 in all white kit

@Lanterne Rouge - I'd love to hear your opinion on the Jayco Giant team!! What on earth is going on there mate!! That team is absolutely nowhere in any of the races at the moment. Please could you give some insight as to what you thinks going on there???

We belgians would have like to see a duel between the best 2 riders of the world! we where all verry disapointed pogacar was out of the race. For the season itself for quick step this dosnt make it all good. A lot of bad luck and a strong pogacar didnt made it possible for quick step to win a great classic. They cant do it every season !! annyway remco is reddy to start the giro.

BRAVO Remco Evenepoel !!! We hope you will win the Tour de France !!!

Scaphoid is a serious break. The bone has a very limited blood supply and if there’s a non-union it can take a while to heal.

best rider ever

LR can’t believe there’s been no mention of your commentary at 4:38-4:42 - some of your best work, comedy gold. And likely true.

Apparently both tubeless tyres came off the rim....

What's going on with Pidcock? Feels like he's a level below the one day elites like WVA, MVDP, Remco?

A scafoid fracture is a bitch for those that don’t know. It has a poor blood supply so requires surgery a lot of the time as the healing of it on its own is very poor so needs surgery to pin it. I’d expect him to be out of races for minimum 6 weeks due to the injury but more because of returning to fitness. Fingers crossed he’s okay

Whtie shorts in the rain, bold choice.

Dang, this could have been epic with Remoc and Pogo head-to-head. Oh well, maybe next year.

The opening 15 seconds were comical!

Awesome race but why the white BIB. Wish the Pog was involved ….. but I think Remco had it!

Glad to see Tratnik still got it, i think he was the oldest rider at this race. 33 years.

Love Remco but I don't care how good you are, white bib shorts should be OUTLAWED! 😂😂

Did remco need to wear those white shorts?? I feel bad for anyone who was behind him STARING into his Date!😂😂

Remco will ride De Ronde next year

Remco slips on Philippe Gilbert’s face on La Redoute. On the finish line, he came to congrats him so they might be even 😅

Scaphoid fractures can be complicated and can take 3 months, a year, 2 years. Hope it's minor fracture.

After Pog’s crash most exciting thing in LBL was all white Remco

Damn wondering what would break Pogi's streak. But not like this.... :(

Osborne coming from rowinf lacks routine in the pro peloton. He was often pulling too hard today in the break. The pee break wasn’t a pee attempt, it was the break letting him go because he was riding too hard

Tranquilo, tio😮where did you learn your excellent pronunciation?

Healy wearing his helmet like Indiana Jones B-)

👍🏿👍🏿

I was also very annoyed by the astana guy riding the green/bue willier always sucking wheel of the Jumbo visma guy and then taking the kom at midpoint. That was a coward move yo

Remco is a beast, but damn those white bibs are not a good look 😂

It's a shame there was no Pog/Remco face-off, takes nothing of 2/2 for Remco at LBL. Does it save QS classics season, I don't think so.

The Ardennes Classics have been quite a disappointment this year, with weak start lists and top competitors crashing out (Pogacar and Powless). Makes ya long for a race like this year's E3 Saxo Classic

What have we done to the cycling god? After Paris-Roubaix (Degenkolb getting crashed and WvA with the flat tire) now again a monument without any suspense because Pogacar crashed. Remco just rode away, not like 2022 when he tried to kill his bike and the road.

M.Skjeldmose dissapointet not good enough To get a 9 place. Fully agreed that with 2 Trek segrafredo riders again position Not good on redoute. Remco did his job No Podacar bye did n't have to accelerate Much to get rid of Pidcock, a little tempo Increase scary, saved Quicksteps spring Season. Giro how soon will Roglic crash? 😜🔝❤️

That’s two of this years monuments where bad luck denied us great finishes - Paris Roubaix being the other one. Pity…

I really wish Evenepoel would sort his shifters out, it drives me mad...

Why is it okay for Healy to wear skinsuit ?

Coucou ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It was LR face

A ha, time for pushing pedals fans, new cycling races are coming up soon, warm up muscles everybody plizzzzzz

Remco 🐌

Nah, the classics season isnt saved for Soudal Quick-step by winning this single race. They have tried being competitive in a lot of the races but just got overshadowed by other teams. If winning LBL makes the classics season a success they might as well skip all the non-mandatory races and only show up to the 1.UWT races

best man "Attila Valter"

Tratnik looks lean

😢

RRRRRRRREEEMCOOO EEEEEEEEEVENEPOEL! All-White-Bib goes hard. Still such a bummer we did not see the battle against Pogacar. Spoiler: Pogi would have smoked him!
