Primoz Roglic redeems himself and, with a stroke of the sponge, erases - albeit in part - the disappointment for the defeat in the last Tour de France, by Slovenian compatriot Pogacar.
The Jumbo-Visma rider won the 106th edition of the Liegi-Bastogne-Liegi, 257 meters long and with 11 Cotes to climb.
The Ardennes classic rewarded him after a spectacular finish, with Roglic himself, Alaphilippe, Hirschi and Pogacar on the run. A hard-fought sprint, with the return of Mohoric 300 meters from the finish line, a shot by Alaphilippe, who clearly damaged Hirschi with a discard, and Pogacar: the world champion raised his arms too early, but saw Roglic come out on the right , which burned him right on the finish line with a kidney shot. After the finish, the jury relegated Alaphilippe to 5th place. The Swiss Mar Hirschi went to the second step of the podium of the Doyenne, with Tadej Pogacar third. There were three Slovenes in the first four places. It is the new cycling frontier. .
