Wind of youth on the Doyenne of the classics. Tadej Pogacar, 24, and Remco Evenepoel, 23, the last two winners, are big favorites in Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Sunday April 23 (to follow live from 3:15 p.m. on France 3 and on france.tv) . The former is experiencing a golden spring, with its victories in the Tour of Flanders, the Amstel Gold Race and the Flèche wallone, and is aiming for a 13th victory in 19 days of racing. But facing him, the world champion, who will participate in his first classic of the season, intends to shine on his land, in Belgium.

Remco Evenepoel will be supported by a luxury teammate, in the person of Julian Alaphilippe who wants to revive after a difficult year, since his heavy fall in Liège-Bastogne-Liège last year. The French Romain Bardet, David Gaudu or Benoît Cosnefroy will also have a card to play. Follow the race live.
