Evenepoel settles for third as Pogačar asserts Liège-Bastogne-Liège supremacy

Remco Evenepoel admitted he would have exploded if he had tried to follow Tadej Pogačar’s searing attack on La Redoute, finishing Liège-Bastogne-Liège in third and saying that position was the maximum he could manage. He then sprinted to third behind Pogačar and Paul Seixas. The result caps Evenepoel’s Spring Classics with two third-place finishes (Liège and Tour of Flanders on debut) and a win at Amstel Gold Race, as Pogačar secured La Doyenne.
