Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogačar won the Liège–Bastogne–Liège classic for the fourth time in his career and the third year in a row. The 259.5-kilometer race took place on Sunday, April 26, and the win represents Pogačar's thirteenth monument. He held the lead position despite having to deal with a crash in the peloton, after which he had to fight his way back into contention. teraz.sk ↗ Der Standard ↗
The talented French rider Paul Seixas, who was seen as one of the main favorites before the race, delivered an exceptional performance and kept pace with Pogačar for most of the race. Nineteen-year-old Seixas was labeled a possible successor to the Slovenian cyclist. The duel that broke out between them unfolded dramatically, but Pogačar ultimately launched his attack about 14 kilometers from the finish and definitively put his French rival away.

The third of the trio of favorites was Belgian Remco Evenepoel, whose tactics, according to experts' analysis, clearly differed from the conventional approach. Pogačar now holds the record within close reach, as he needs only one more triumph to equal legendary Eddy Merckx's record of fifteen monuments. Pogačar dedicated the win to his late friend. Riders in the tour face further challenges ahead, with Pogačar continuing to demonstrate his dominance on the classics courses. sme.sk ↗ sme.sk ↗
