Ben Healy, racing for EF Education-EasyPost, successfully achieved his first Monument podium finish at Liège-Bastogne-Liège after a disappointing performance at the Amstel Gold Race. Healy expressed his joy at realizing a winter-long goal and executed his team's race strategy effectively. During the race, he remained focused, avoiding unnecessary efforts while Tadej PogaÄar surged ahead. Healy joined a chase group but ultimately separated from it with Giulio Ciccone to contest for second place, demonstrating strong competition and tenacity in the concluding kilometers of the race.
I'm just so happy, and I just want this to settle in now.
A podium in a monument, that was always a goal and that's what I've worked so hard this winter for.
People were able to jump across [at Amstel Gold Race] and that was always our plan from the beginning.
I think everyone was pulling as hard as they possibly could. I don't think we were hanging about.
