Tom Pidcock enters Liège-Bastogne-Liège on Sunday as the top returning finisher of the 2023 race, in the absence of previous winner Remco Evenepoel, and off the back of mixed fortunes in the Ardennes, he will be a serious favourite for La Doyenne.

Pidcock took a stunning overall victory at Amstel Gold - breaking the seemingly adamantine winning streak of Mathieu van der Poel. However, he couldn’t produce the same form at La Flèche Wallonne where he was one of the dozens of riders who suffered from brutally cold conditions.
