Lance, George, and Johan break down the 2025 edition of Liège–Bastogne–Liège, which saw Tadej Pogačar romp to an effortless victory over the doomed chase group of Giulio Ciccone and Ben Healy, taking his third win in the last five editions and cementing his status as the sport's most dominant racer in both one-day events and stage races.
