It’s the showdown we have been waiting for all Spring: Mathieu Van der Poel vs Tadej Pogačar in the oldest and most arduous Monument on the cycling calendar. Pogačar, a previous winner in 2021, must start as favorite as his slighter build lends itself more to the continuous short steep climbs but when Van der Poel decides he wants to win a race, few can stop him. It will be EPIC!
Leaving Liège, the course meanders south to Bastogne, and up until this point all is usually calm. It's when the race turns to head back north that the action kicks in. Starting with the Côte de Saint-Roch, the course tackles 10 classic ascents including the likes of the Col du Rosier, the iconic Côte de la Redoute and the final wicked test — the Côte de La Roche-aux-Faucons. After this climb at 13.3km to go, the race will then head into the heart of the industrial city of Liège for the grandstand finish.
In the absence of last year’s winner, Belgium's Remco Evenepoel, after his terrible crash in the Basque Country, the riders hoping to challenge the two favorites will be the victor of this year’s Amstel Gold race, Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers), Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl Trek), Simon Yates (Team Jayco–AlUla), Matej Mohorič (Bahrain - Victorious) and Aleksandr Vlasov (BORA - hansgrohe).
Dry but cold conditions greeted the peloton as they woke in Liège to face one of the toughest days on the cycling calendar. Can anyone stop the two favourites and will they provide the spectacle the fans crave.
Read on to see how to catch the action from wherever you live.
