Capturing victory at all the Ardennes Classics – Amstel Gold Race, Flèche Wallonne, and Liège-Bastogne-Liège – in one season is a rare feat that has only been accomplished by four riders in history: Davide Rebellin in 2004, Philippe Gilbert in 2011, Anna van der Breggen in 2017 and now Demi Vollering, who added her name to the prestigious list on Sunday.
"[Liège-Bastogne-Liège] was the most difficult of the three. Especially because I put a lot of pressure on myself to achieve this unique series," Vollering said after out-sprinting Elisa Longo Borghini to take the victory in Liège.
