Route snapshot

Course snapshot

The route keeps Liège’s long-burn monument shape, with the steepest accelerations clustered in the final 50 km.

  1. Road to Bastogne The first 80 km are mostly about distance and positioning before Saint-Roch opens the climbing near Bastogne.
  2. Old-school attrition block Haussire, then Wanne, Stockeu, Haute-Levée, and Rosier create the grinding middle section that strips domestiques away.
  3. Final climb chain Maquisard at km 208.7 and Desnié at km 212.8 now lead into La Redoute at km 225.5, Côte des Forges at km 236.2, and the 1.3 km Roche-aux-Faucons wall at 11% with only 13.4 km left.

Overview

Overview

Spoiler-safe route context for the 259.5 km Monument and its attritional final climb chain.

The 112th Liège-Bastogne-Liège still stretches the field by accumulation rather than one single wall. The official race-week preview leans into exactly that theme: Saint-Roch opens the climbing after Bastogne, Haussire and the Wanne-Stockeu-Haute-Levée-Rosier block wear teams down, and the Maquisard-Desnié pairing now feeds directly into La Redoute, Les Forges, and Roche-aux-Faucons for the final 50 km back to Liège.
