The final Monument of the spring Classics season, Liège-Bastogne-Liège, didn't deliver the anticipated Tadej Pogačar vs Remco Evenepoel duel after all, with the world champion soloing to a third career victory as the Belgian suffered in the final before finishing 59th.
Sunday's race saw Evenepoel take on only his fourth race back from a long layoff after suffering multiple injuries in a dooring incident last December.
