On paper, our leader for today\u2019s race was Mikel Landa. Being able to play my own cards has been surprising to me. Even if I am always prepared for the best, it\u2019s hard to get my head around the fact that I have landed a podium here. Remco was just too strong \u2013 we couldn\u2019t follow him even if we knew he was going to attack. Coming into the finish, I knew Pidcock was the fastest on a sprint, but you never know how things would turn out after 250 kilometres. I tried to anticipate him by sprinting far out, with 300 meters to go, yet he overtook me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I didn\u2019t know I was the first Colombian in the Li\u00e8ge-Bastogne-Li\u00e8ge podium! I watched this race on TV back when I was a kid, and it was one of my favourite Classics. I felt privileged the first time I ever participate here, in 2020, even though I couldn\u2019t finish. Making it to the podium is unbelievable, and I feel so humbled I share this podium with Remco Evenepoel and Tom Pidcock. This result is such a big motivation coming into the Giro d\u2019Italia, which is my biggest goal for this first half of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n liege-bastogne.liege.be<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sobre el papel, nuestro l\u00edder para la carrera de hoy era Mikel Landa.

Remco era demasiado fuerte: no pod\u00edamos seguirlo aunque supi\u00e9ramos que iba a atacar.
