Liège - Ans 261.5 km
The grand finale of the spring classics. From here on it's sprinters and weanie stageracers who take center stage for a few months. The last spring classic is perhaps the hardest one yet though.
Podiumcafe Old Lady Pick: Alejandro Valverde
Traditions are meant to be upheld, plus Valverde has a super team to patrol this race to keep him in contention for a big sprint finish.
