Liege-Bastogne-Liege 2022: TV and livestream details, can Tadej Pogacar or Julian Alaphilippe stop the Ineos express?

Four days after the midweek outing at La Fleche Wallonne, the last and most important of the Ardennes classics plays out on the rolling roads south of Liege. One of the oldest classics on the cycling calendar, La Doyenne – the Old Lady – is the fourth Monument of the season and the last-chance saloon for the big one-day racers ahead of the Grand Tours.

After a thrilling spring, the 108th edition of Liege-Bastogne-Liege offers talking points aplenty, not least the return to action of Tadej Pogacar following his implosion on the home straight of the Ronde van Vlaanderen. The Slovenian defending champion will hope to secure a Liege double but will face stiff competition from the world champion Julian Alaphilippe, Belgian champion Wout van Aert, the in-form Matej Mohoric, and an inspired Ineos Grenadiers classics team coming into fruition.

It’s the fourth of five Monuments in the calendar and the last major one-day race before the season’s focus shifts towards the Grand Tours.

Liege-Bastogne-Liege starts at 9:15 and is expected to finish around 15:55 – both UK times. IS THERE A WOMEN’S RACE? There is – but unlike last weekend’s Paris-Roubaix, the sixth edition of Liege-Bastogne-Liege Femmes takes place on the same day as the men’s race.

That means the race starts fiendishly early – at 07:35 UK time – and will be sewn up well before midday.
