PG - Liège-Bastogne-Liège
Hands up who misses the race finishing in Ans. No one? Oh, just you Dan.
I m typing this very slowly so I hope you re not reading too quickly. I ve had a couple of drinks tonight and LBL is pretty much how I d currently say the word label .
Best not to expect too much below.
The Course
4500 metres of gain. That s a lot.
We have a new climb. It s before Redoute so I doubt it will be significant but the 1.6k at 8.1% of the Côte de Desnié should be another leg sapper in a race of leg sapping. The 2019 change to the finish with the plateau, the false flat and the small rise after the Côte de la Roche-aux-Faucons gave us something more akin to most of the big spring classics rather than a Flèche scenario of waiting for the final climb. I m going to say we ll get the same again this year with a small group fighting for the win.
