Belgian Remco Evenepoel claimed back-to-back wins in the Liege-Bastogne-Liege one-day race on Sunday with a stunning solo ride to victory while Slovenia’s pre-race favorite Tadej Pogacar had to abandon the race after fracturing his wrist in a crash.
Soudal Quick-Step’s Evenepoel first attacked with about 34 km left with Ineos Grenadiers’ Tom Pidcock joining him at the front. But Evenepoel attacked again on the next climb to leave the Briton behind with 30 km to go.
Despite the rain and wet roads, Evenepoel looked like he was in his element and reached the top of Cote de la Roche aux Faucons, the final climb, with a lead of one minute and 18 seconds.
