A strong riding Simon Gerrans is ready for Liège

Cycling’s grand dame, Liège-Bastogne-Liège is one of the most prestigious cycling events and ranks as one of the most important races in cycling. The oldest race of the men’s sprint classics Liège-Bastogne-Liège takes place Sunday, April 26 in the Ardennes (Belgium). The hilly parcours and long distance at 261km makes Liège one of the most physically challenging of the one-day classics. The 18 rated hills, or côtes, provide a stiff challenge with short, but steep climbs, especially in the closing 100km of race and always with some some of the most exciting attacks of the season. The course follows a straight forward 95 km route from Liège to Bastogne, and a winding 163 km route back to Liège. The second half contains most of the climbs, such as the Côte de Stockeu, Côte de la Redoute and Côte de Saint-Nicolas before finishing in the northern Liège suburb of Ans. Cervélo TestTeam will participate with a strong team around Tour de France winner Carlos Sastre (ESP) and Simon Gerrans (AUS) Profile of the race, time schedule and more information, click here >
