Pogacar and Vollering.

Tadej Pogacar (UAE) has extended his dominance in the Liège Bastogne-Liège by winning his fourth victory in the oldest classic of the calendar. The UAE cyclist has suffered more than expected, as the young Paul Seixas has endured his attack in La Redout, but finally the Frenchman has yielded in the ascent to Roche-aux-Fauconse.

Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull) has been third, after a very aggressive start in which he has not been able to keep up with the pace set by Pogacar. With this victory, the Slovenian has tied Alejandro Valverde and Moreno Argentin in the Palmaris, with Eddy Merckxremaining a single victory from the record .

 

The race has started smoothly, after a fall broke the platoon, asthe  Evenepoel has leftwithNico Denz. However, the joint work of the UAE and Decathlon has neutralized the escape before the last 100 kilometers.

In the final stretch, Pogacar has launched his usual attack on La Redoute, and only Seixas has been able to keep him on his wheel. The two have cooperated until the Roche-aux-Faucons, where the world champion has launched a definitive attack 600 metres from the top.

Pogacar has crossed the finish line alone, with atime of 5 hours, 50 minutes and 28 seconds, and signed the fastest edition of the test, with an average speed of more than 44 km/h.
