Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) may have won a fourth Liège-Bastogne-Liège solo by 45 seconds, but that doesn't quite show the entire picture of just how close 19-year-old Paul Seixas (Decathlon CMA CGM) pushed him to his absolute limit.
The World Champion even conceded post-race that he had already been thinking of how to play the two-up sprint after failing to get rid of Seixas on La Redoute, where everyone else crumbled under the pressure of his initial stinging attack.
