Tadej Pogacar took an imperious fourth victory at Liege-Bastogne-Liege to take a step closer to Eddy Merckx‘s record of five wins at the Belgian Monument, with French wunderkind Paul Seixas continuing his rapid rise in the sport with a superb second place.
Pogacar sported a black armband in memory of former teammate Cristian Camilo Munoz, who died on Friday after a knee injury sustained in a fall during a race became infected, and pointed to the sky in tribute as he crossed the line in Liege.
