Cannibal victory by Remco Evenepoel in Liege-Bastogne-Liege; Valverde, 7th

Date:

new display of Remco Evenepoel. The young cyclist imposed himself with authority on 108th edition of Liège-Bastogne-Liège, after launching a destructive attack 30 kilometers from the finish line to which no one could respond. In the back, the other two privileged positions were decided in a sprint where he was Alexander Valverde, but ‘The bullet’, which will be 42 this Monday has not discussed the two more privileged seats of ‘the dean’

Evenepoel’s success was enormous. A real exhibition and in a certain way it reminds of the achievements in 2019 on Classic of San Sebastian, when he was recognized by the majority of the public and when he captured the hearts of the fans who responded with courage by attacking 20 kilometers from the finish line. This Sunday he did it a little more, about 30 from the finish line, from the classic close of Trilogy or Triptych of the Ardennesat the back of Amstel Gold Race and the Walloon Arrow.

Before the attack of the young Belgian cyclist, Remco was seen to be very fit, very on the spot, very attentive, appearing in all the attacks that took place, many of them, up to five arreones, was performed by a brave Mikel Landa |with a Mark Soler which was also seen. There are those who might think that Remco is overly tired, but there is no such thing. Eventually, on the hardest ramp of Cote de La Redoute (2.1 km at 9%), penultimate climb, Evenepoel turned on the gas tap and left like a shot. No one knows or can follow him.

For a few kilometers he rolled to the side Bruno Armirail to the leader of the race, until there came a moment when he could go where and how he wanted. It was at the last ascent of the day, at Cote de la Roche aux Faucons which left the French nailed. Remco spread his wings and like a hawk flew quickly towards the finish line, bathed by the mass in the last kilometer.

From behind, just jump Vlasov, but did not leave, as each of the pursuers tried to play their cards, thinking about the podium and the long last stretch. When they saw that they could not catch him, that there was no way to deduct the difference, his chosen ones chased – Van Aert, Hirschi, Woods, Higuita, Teuns, Martinez, Haig, Powless and Valverde– They limit themselves to learning the play, making sure no one leaves and saving enough energy to play the sprint in the best conditions. Valverde could not enter the fight and the privileged positions after Evenepoel landed Hermans and Van Aert.

In this way, Evenepoel closed out in Liège what he defined as his best day on the bike, with his third victory of the season and his 16th victory, at just 22 years old.
