Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2025 Race Preview
Pogacar, Evenepoel, and Skjelmose headline Liège–Bastogne–Liège 2025 in a Monument showdown. Will it be revenge, a three-peat, or another shock?

This Sunday, cycling’s oldest Monument brings the curtain down on the spring classics. Liège-Bastogne-Liège is back. And with Remco Evenepoel, Tadej Pogačar, and Mattias Skjelmose all on the start line, expect fireworks from the first pedal stroke.
Watch it live and on demand on FloBikes in Canada. Last weekend, Skjelmose shocked the cycling world. With a cold-blooded move in the final meters of Amstel Gold, he stunned both Pogačar and Remco. Then midweek, he hit the deck at Flèche Wallonne. But the Dane is back. Banged up, sure—but hungry to prove Amstel wasn’t a fluke.
Pogačar, meanwhile, reminded everyone who’s boss on the Mur de Huy. While others danced and cracked, he stayed seated—and rode away. Ten seconds clear by the top. A statement win. And a warning.
Still, some wonder: is he fading? Strade Bianche, Tour of Flanders, Flèche Wallonne—three major wins already this spring. What’s left in the tank?
Pogačar answered that himself:
“I understand why people wonder if I’m getting tired, but we built my season to stay fresh. I skipped the semi-classics like Dwars and E3 for that reason. Honestly, I’ve only gone all-out one day a week. I still feel good—and I’m ready to go deep one last time before taking a break.”
Liège is no hilltop sprint. It’s a war of attrition. 252 kilometers. Eleven climbs. And a final hour that breaks spirits—Côte de La Redoute, Côte des Forges, Roche-aux-Faucons. You don’t just win Liège. You survive it.
Remco Evenepoel knows that better than anyone. He’s won the last two editions—once from La Redoute, once even earlier. His weapon of choice? The long-range missile. When he goes, he goes for good.

And now? He’s ready. After finishing third at Amstel, Remco looks sharp, motivated, and laser-focused on a three-peat that would tie Pogačar’s Monument tally.
Two of the sport’s most dominant climbers—each with two Monument wins—face off with bragging rights and history on the line.
Throw in Julian Alaphilippe, Marc Hirschi, Tom Pidcock, Ben Healy, Lenny Martinez, and the rising star Thibau Nys, and you’ve got a race teetering on the edge.
Who wins Liège? Does Remco make it three? Does Pogacar get revenge? Or can Skjelmose blow it all up again?
La Redoute. Roche-aux-Faucons. The strongest legs win—and only the bold survive. This is the Monument that makes legends. Let’s see who writes their name next.
