On Sunday, Annemiek van Vleuten ended her spring as she started, with a win at Liège-Bastogne-Liège to go with her February victory at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, retaking the trophy she had won in 2019 with a solo attack from the Côte de Roche-aux-Faucons.

The Dutch woman has rarely been away from the podium this spring campaign, taking second places at Strade Bianche, the Tour of Flanders, and La Flèche Wallonne to go with her two victories.
