The Slovenian Tadej Pogacar and the dutch Mathieu Van der Poel focused almost all eyes on The 110th edition of Liège-Bastogne-Liège this Sundaywhere only four of the last 16 ‘Decana’ winners will be: Wout Poels (2016), Bon Jungels (2018), Jakob Fuglsang (2019) and Tadej Pogacar (2021).
The winner of the last two editions, the Belgian, was not there Remco Evenpoel, who is about to begin the recovery process after undergoing surgery for a broken clavicle and shoulder blade he suffered in a multiple fall of the fourth stage of Itzulia. A disaster that, as the ‘cannibal’ himself admitted, could have been worse, given its severity and the date on which it could have occurred, but should not prevent him from being included in his two big events this season: The Tour de Francewhere he debuts, and in Olympic Games in Paris.
Before the attentive gaze of the fans on the performance of the Liège teams, Pogacar had a nice detail on Evenepoel: “It’s a shame that Remco Evenepoel is not in Liège-Bastogne-Liège. I really want to face him in this classic, it will be an interesting battle.
