Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) has shocked his key rivals at Liège-Bastogne-Liège by getting into a massive early breakaway of more than 50 riders, with both Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Paul Seixas (Decathlon CMA CGM) missing the split.
The breakaway had a lead of 3:30 heading into the final 180km, with UAE and Decathlon both committing riders to the chase. All of the categorised climbs on the 260km route are still to be ridden.
