It is already the fourth Monument of the year but undoubtedly the most anticipated. This Liège-Bastogne-Liège, with Tadej Pogacar and Paul Seixas in a state of grace, promises to spark. This 112th edition of La Doyenne takes place over 259 kilometers. The Côte de la Redoute (1.6km at 9.3%), the Côte des Forges (1.3km at 7.7%) and the Côte de la Roche aux Faucons (1.3km at 10.1%) should decide the name of the winner.

The profile of Liège-Bastogne-Liège
The favorites of Liège-Bastogne-Liège
World champion Tadej Pogacar, cycling’s great hope Paul Seixas or local rider Remco Evenepoel? The Slovenian, three-time winner of the Doyenne, will want to continue his collection of Cycling Monuments.
Remco Evenepoel will want to reconquer a classic that he has already won twice, and to prove that he can compete with Pogacar, particularly on the accelerations in the Redoute or the Roche-aux-Faucons. Paul Seixas, recent winner of the Tour du Pays Basque and the Flèche Wallone, will discover the race. He advances without hesitation against the leaders of his sport, at only 19 years old.
They can create a surprise
As for the outsiders, we think of Giulio Ciccone, on the podium in 2025, Kévin Vauquelin, Matteo Jorgenson, Thomas Pidcock and Mattias Skjelmose. Other Frenchmen like Romain Grégoire and Lenny Martinez can show their advantage in Belgium on Sunday.
