While Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) is the outright favourite for Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the expectation surrounding Paul Seixas (Decathlon CMA CGM) after his La Flèche Wallonne debut victory has led to him being ranked above even two-time winner Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) in several markets for Sunday's race.
Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Evenepoel, who will start in Liège off the back of an impressive win at the Amstel Gold Race, offered a reality check on the difficulty of the course and said that "Tadej and I already have a bit more stamina," compared to Seixas.
