See you in...Liège!

January 22 nd 2019 - 12:00

As historical and attached to traditions as they are, the Ardennes classics still manage to bring novelty.

The puncheurs will also need resilience four days later to come out on top after the 256 km awaiting them for the 105th edition of Liège-Bastogne-Liège. The challenges are as usual concentrated in the second part of the race, with nine climbs in the last 100 km. The Wanne, Stockeu and Haute-Levée triptych comes back with the addition of the Côte de Mont-le-Soie to spice it up. But the main changes come from the finale, redesigned to ensure a finish in the city center. The iconic Côte de la Redoute, the historic Côte des Forges and the always spectacular Côte de la Roche-aux-Faucons (where Luxembourg champions Andy Schleck and Bob Jungels built their successes) will lead the riders to glory.

As well as unveiling the courses of the Ardennes classics, the organisers revealed the team selection for the upcoming edition of Liège–Bastogne–Liège. The following squads have been selected to compete alongside the 18 WorldTour outfits:

SPORT VLAANDEREN – BALOISE
WALLONIE BRUXELLES
WANTY - GOBERT CYCLING TEAM

COFIDIS, SOLUTIONS CRÉDITS
DIRECT ÉNERGIE
TEAM ARKEA – SAMSIC
