Liege Bastogne liege 2022

Marta Cavalli is shooting for an unlikely treble in the Ardennes classics after triumphs at Amstel Gold and La Fleche Wallonne.

There have been a number of early attacks as the break tries to establish itself. Riding in support of Demi Vollering, and with past winner Anna van der Breggen in the team car as DS, SD Worx were always set to be a strong presence at the race. Trek-Segafredo's Audrey Cordon-Ragot is reportedly struggling at the back of the bunch. A rider from UAE Team ADG is in pursuit in between the lead group and the peloton. Next up is the Côte de Haute-Levée (2.2km at 7.5%). With the gap down to 15 seconds, it's likely the breakaway will be swallowed up by the peloton as they ascend this climb. With around 3km remaining to Col du Rosier, let's take a look at the composition of our leading group. This year's race travels from Bastogne to Liège over a distance of 142.km. The race takes in seven climbs. The lead group have 1.26 over the peloton. Côte de La Redoute is 2km long, at an average gradient of 8.9%. It comes with around 30km remaining in the race, and is the next ascent that the riders will face. With the two chasing groups joining forces, the lead of Annemiek van Vleuten is diminishing. Their lead is trickling away though, as the chasing group of eight riders close in. FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine-Futuroscope have a lone leader in Grace Brown, who has a 15 second lead over the rest with 20.7km remaining.
