Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes is the final of the three Ardennes Classics, scheduled for April 21, 2024, along with Amstel Gold Race Ladies Edition on April 14 and the mid-week La Flèche Wallonne Femmes on April 17.
The races close the door on the Women’s WorldTour Spring Classics season and open a new one to a spate of stage races, starting with La Vuelta Femenina in May.
The race from Bastogne to Liège, which tends to lean further in favour of the climbers due to its longer ascents, is the most recent of the three Ardennes Classics to be added to the women’s calendar.
The inaugural event was held in 2017, with Anna van der Breggen taking victory in the first two editions, Annemiek van Vleuten in 2019 and 2022, while Lizzie Deignan and Demi Vollering took out the two editions in between.
Last year, Vollering made history when she not only claimed her second Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes title but captured the Ardennes Classics triple crown after winning Amstel Gold Race and Flèche Wallonne. A thrilling race to the finish line in Liège saw Vollering out-sprint Elisa Longo Borghini for the win, while her SD Worx teammate Marlen Reusser crossed the line in third place.
