Liège-Bastogne-Liège: Recent winners

bob jungels - Liège-Bastogne-Liège: Recent winnersLiège-Bastogne-Liège is the oldest of all the cycling classics. 'La Doyenne' is situated in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes with riders tackling numerous steep climbs on the way back from Bastogne like 'La Redoute' and the 'Cote de Saint-Nicolas'. It is therefore a race in which climbers and puncheurs have the most success. Cyclingstage.com takes a look at the recent winners of the race that closes the classics season.
