Liège-Bastogne-Liège: Winners and records

Jakob Fuglsang 2019 - Liège-Bastogne-Liège: Winners and recordsLiège-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 'Côte 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.
