After a successful run so far in the Ardennes, Tom Pidcock will extend his spring to Sunday to make his debut at Liège-Bastogne-Liège. The British neo-pro was initially expected to end his first Classics campaign at La Flèche Wallonne, where he placed sixth on Wednesday, but he will now line up at his third Monument this weekend.

Ineos Grenadiers have not announced their seven-man lineup for La Doyenne, but Pidcock was one of five names on a provisional start list released by the race organisers on Thursday.
