Remco Evenepoel won the 108th edition of the Liège-Bastogne-Liège. For the Belgian talent, at 22, this is the first victory in a classic monument. First important success, in the Northern races, also for the Quick Step, so far disappointing.

Quinten Hermans and Wout Van Aert finish on the podium in the sprint.

A fall 60 km from the finish, on the other hand, knocks out many runners, including Julian Alaphilippe . The world champion, hospitalized after a terrible blow to the back, is forced to retire.

The breakaway of the day features several runners. Six of them remain at the discovery: Armirail (the last to surrender), Moniquet, Vanhoucke, Doubey, Ourselin and Wirtgen. The decisive action takes place on Redoute with Evenepoel who attacks and then manages to maintain an advantage over the group of the best of about forty seconds until the finish.

Behind him the battle starts late and the great work of Bahrain Victorius is useless first, with Landa, Haig, Poels and Mohoric, and then the other teams, including a disappointing Ineos. Never brilliant, however, Wout Van Aert.
