Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2016: Wout Poels wins his first Monument, Albasini in second

At around 250 kilometres, Liège–Bastogne–Liège features ten Ardennes hills. Due to hectic weather conditions (rain, snow), the race organisation changed the planned course during the race, yet all hills were still in the course. Poels, Albasini, Costa and Sanchez attacked on the last climb from an elite group, while the Dutchman from Team Sky powered to victory in the last 500 metres.

With 2.5 kilometres left the cobbled climb up Côte de la Rue de Naniot comes right after Côte de Saint-Nicolas. Furthermore, the infamous Stockeu is not in the 2016 Liege-Bastogne-Liege.
