Tadej Pogačar heads into Liège-Bastogne-Liège as one of the few superstars to have survived the first months of the 2024 season without breaking something. In his pre-race press conference, Pogačar said he would miss having Remco Evenepoel - the winner of the last two editions of La Doyenne - on the start line.
"I was hoping from the start of the year that we would go head to head with Remco here in this race because he loves this race," Pogačar said. "I love it also, and it would [have been] interesting but cycling sucks sometimes."
