Julian Alaphilippe has been given the green light to race Liège-Bastogne-Liège, joining defending champion Remco Evenepoel in Soudal-QuickStep's line-up with a free role.

Alaphilippe was a doubt for La Doyenne after a knee injury sustained at the Tour of Flanders ruled him out of Amstel Gold Race and La Flèche Wallonne.
