Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes - How it happened

Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar) had to go all out on the attack not once, but twice, to scoop up her first Women’s WorldTour victory of the season at Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes in a hard-fought finale to the Ardennes Classics. 

The Dutch rider, who also won in 2019, secured her second victory at the 142.1km race starting in Bastogne with her move on the Côte de la Roche-aux-Faucons, where she went solo. The 39-year-old had time to savour the victory as she crossed the line in Liège, 43 seconds ahead of a chase group of five.

Grace Brown (FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine Futuroscope), who had been out the front until Van Vleuten caught her with the race winning attack, won the sprint from the chase group to claim another second place at the event which first ran in 2017. Brown's podium spot added to a stellar run for the French team in the Ardennes, with Marta Cavalli winning the Amstel Gold Race and Flèche Wallonne.

The 2021 Liège winner, Demi Vollering (SD Worx), came third, making it to the podium in every one of the three Ardennes Classics, but this year falling short of the top step.
