There were 4 or 5 of us breaking away on the climb at that time, we tried it, but...

Maxim Van Gils: “I got a little bit blocked”

“I wasn’t on a mission to save the team’s season. There is a bit of pressure, but that's normal when you're a professional cyclist and you play a leadership role. Last year, I finished the Tour and it made me stronger. Then I worked well this winter and I prepared well for this race.

The wall of truth

The centre of the racing world moves. The journey is only a few dozen kilometres long, but every year, there's a genuine change of scenery between the countryside of the Flanders and the sequence of Ardennes Classics. Gone are the cobblestones, replaced by the steep, leg-straining climbs; leave the heavyweights behind and give way to the lightweights, climbers who are both tough...

Prime time

Once a year, the roads of the Province of Liège lead to Huy and Liège and rekindle the fire of the Ardennes classics, a sequence of races that have gone down in cycling history.
