How The Race Was Won – Liege-Bastogne-Liege 2013

Posted on 22 April 20134 July 2021 by cosmo

Coming into this Sunday, there were a lot of big squads without a classics win, and only one classic left on the table. One came good with some spectacular teamwork and and cool-as-a-cucumber riding.

Also featured—more electronic shifting follies, some road blocking, an arm sling, over-aggressive spectators and a gigantic panda costume. What’s not to like?

    Nice job as always.
    Martin made that win look easy – almost like he was thinking “uhh, why is everyone teeing this up for me so perfectly?”
    The theme song is hilarious. And oddly catchy for a monk chant.

    A bit late to the party, but… Is the Saxo rider at 1’05” wearing slippers?
