How to watch Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2024
Watch Pogacar, Vollering, Pidcock, Kopecky in action in the Walloon hills on Sunday, April 21
Spring Classics season draws to a close on Sunday, April 21 with the fourth Monument of the season at Liège-Bastogne-Liège and Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes.
Famous climbs such as the Côte de Wanne, Côte de La Redoute, and Côte de la Roche aux Faucons pack the route on what is the longest, oldest, and most challenging race of the Ardennes Triple.
While Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) is back to defend her women's race title, Remco Evenepoel misses out on a chance to back-to-back-to-back following a crash at Itzulia Basque Country. Instead, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) comes in as the main favourite having won the race three years ago.
Dates: Sunday, April 21
USA: Peacock
Canada: FloBikes
UK: Discovery+
Australia: SBS
Watch anywhere: Try NordVPN, 100% risk-free
The two megastars won't have it all their own way at La Doyenne, however. Not least because the likes of the reigning world champions Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) will also be chasing glory on the roads of Wallonia.
Otherwise, look out for other big names such as Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers), Ashleigh Moolman Pasio (AG Insurance-Soudal), Michael Matthews (Jayco-AlUla), Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig (FDJ-Suez), Matej Mohorič (Bahrain Victorious), Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek), Benoît Cosnefroy (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale), David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) and more besides.
