Highlights - #LiegeBastogneLiege 2023

2 out of 2. Following his victory on his maiden appearance in La Doyenne last year, current world champion Remco Evenepoel won his second straight Liège-Bastogne-Liège. After a first attack up the Côte de la Redoute, the Belgian rider rode his final rival Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) off his wheel with 30 kilometres to go and powered solo all the way to the Quai des Ardennes. It’s the fourth time in the race’s history that a world champion seals back-to-back victories, the second one in the rainbow jersey, after Ferdi Kübler (1952), Eddy Merckx (1972) and Moreno Argentin (1987). On top of that, this was Evenepoel’s first triumph in the aforementioned rainbow jersey. Pidcock was 2nd in the finish line, with Bahrain Victorious’ Santiago Buitrago in 3rd to claim Colombia’s first-ever podium in La Doyenne. On a sad note, the much-anticipated duel between Evenepoel and UAE Team Emirates’ Tadej Pogacar did not take place as the Slovenian rider crashed out 84,5 kilometres into the race and suffered fractures to the left scaphoid and lunate bones.
