Liège-Bastogne-Liège information

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Liège-Bastogne-Liège will have its 111th edition on April 27, 2025. It is the oldest Classic on the calendar. Known as La Doyenne, Liège-Bast𝕴ogne-Liège closes out the Ardennes Classics w🐻ith a last-man-standing war of attrition over 250km or more and 10 classified climbs in the rolling hills of eastern Belgium.

The climbs of the Saint-Roch, Wanne, Stockeu, La Redoute, and Roche-aux-Faucons are among those which pepper the route, making the race the toughest of Ard𒈔ennes week.

From 1992 until 2019, Liège-Bastogne-Liège finished in the industrial suburb of Ans rather than in Liège with the last climb of the Côte de Saint-Nicolas just 5.5km from an uphill run-in to the finish line🌠.

In 2019, 🍃the race finish returned to the centre of Liège now with the Côte de la Roche-Aux-Faucons the final climb with 13.3km to go.

The move hasn't turned the Monument into a sprinter's affair, however, with 2019's rainy edition won by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jakob Fuglsang (Astana) after a solo attack on the Roche-Aux-Faucons. In 2020, the race was held in late October after being postponed due the coronavirus pandemic. New world champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quickstep) sparked the winning move on the final climb, and was followed by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma), 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emir𓃲ates) and Marc Hirschi (Team Sunweb).

He dodged his way through the group and celebrated what he thought was a victory only to have Roglic continue through and pip him at the line. The jury later 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:relegated th🍷e Frenchman for irregular sprinting to fifth, with Hirschi and Pogacar rounding out th🀅e podium 🌊behind Roglic.

The Côte de la Roche-Aux-Faucons played a key role again in 2021, when Pogačar sparked the winning move, then out-sprinted Alaphilippe and David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ).

Then, in 2022, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Remco Evenepoel (QuickStep-AlphaVinyl) launched the winning move further out on the Côte de la Redoute with 29km to go and soloed in for victory. Quinten Hermans (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux) topped Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) in 𝔍the sprint for second. 

In 2023, Evenepoel repeated that ♊performance but attacked on a new uncategorised climb after the Côte de la Redoute and soloed in for victory. Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) won the chase group sprint for second place ahead of Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain Victorious).

After crashing out with a broken wrist the previous year, Pogačar made a triumphant return in 2024, taking a solo victory after attacking the field with a crushing attack on the Côte de la Redoute, 34km from the finish. Solo chaser Romain Bardet (dsm-firmenich PostNL)  took second over one minute back while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mathieu van der Poel🌠 (Alpecin-Deceuninck) claimed third from the field sprint.
