Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2024 route
The route for Liège-Bastogne-Liège (April 21) is a classic one for the 110th edition, albeit marginally shorter than the 2023 edition, with all the famous climbs such as the Saint-Roch, Wanne, Stokeu, Rosier, La Redoute and Roche-aux-Faucons lined up on the 254.5km run to the flat finish in central Liège.
The first climb of the day is the Côte de Bonnerue at kilometre 76.2 before the race hits Bastogne at kilometre 107 and the race heads back toward Liège.
On the return trip, the riders head over the Côte de Saint-Roch after 117.3km of racing and enjoy a relatively flat section before hitting the Côte de Wanne (3.6km at 5.1%) at 85 kilometres to go.
The Côte de Stockeu (1km at 12.5%) and Côte de Haute-Levée (2.2km at 7.5%) follow close behind within 15 kilometres.
Next comes the Col du Rosier, the longest of the eight key climbs of the race, with 4.4km at 5.9%, which peaks with 60.1km to go before another brief respite.
The next ascent is the Col du Rosier with 60km to go, followed by the relatively new addition, the Côte de Desnié (1.6-km at 8.1%).
The race only gets tougher from there, with the Côte de la Redoute and Côte des Forges providing key points for long-range attacks.
A last chance to escape comes with 13.4km to go at the Côte de la Roche-aux-Faucons before the fast run-in to the finish in Liège.
