‘Liège-Bastogne-Liège changed my cycling life’ - Wout Poels takes new road to Monument via Tour of the Alps

Bahrain - Victorious' Dutch rider Wout Poels cycles to the finish line to win the 15th stage of the 110th edition of the Tour de France cycling race, 179 km between Les Gets Les Portes du Soleil and Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc, in the French Alps, on July 16, 2023. (Photo by Thomas SAMSON / AFP).

Wout Poels will be one of a handful of former winners at this year’s Liège-Bastogne-Liège on Sunday, but the Bahrain Victorious rider is taking a new approach to the final Classic of the spring.

The Dutchman has taken inspiration from teammate and podium-finisher in 2023, Santiago Buitrago, by completing five days of preparation for Liège-Bastogne-Liège at the Tour of the Alps before taking on Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) and Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck).
