Liège - Bastogne - Liège (La Doyenne)
🚴 UCI
🌍 INT
The oldest Classic trades cobbles for Ardennes altitude.
Côte de la Redoute, Roche‑aux‑Faucons and a string of demanding climbs wear down the peloton until only the most efficient engines remain. Weather can be raw, and the distance amplifies every poor decision made early in the day.
Modern editions reward explosive climbers who can also kick from a small group. Subtle attacks over the top of Roche‑aux‑Faucons, or on false flats after key climbs, often decide the day before the final run back into Liège.
