Pogacar Claims Third Liège-Bastogne-Liège Title, Kim Le Court Wins Women's Race

Tadej Pogačar delivered a commanding solo attack on the Côte de la Redoute to win the Liège–Bastogne–Liège classic for the third time, finishing over a minute ahead of his nearest rivals, Giulio Ciccone and Ben Healy. With this victory, Pogačar secured his ninth Monument win, placing him third on the all-time list behind cycling legends Eddy Merckx and Roger De Vlaeminck. His performance also marked the first time a rider has finished on the podium in six consecutive Monument races, underscoring his dominance in the sport. Pogačar's charismatic presence and approachable personality continue to draw fans, though his superiority has made the competition struggle to keep pace. In the women's event, Kim Le Court achieved a historic win, becoming the first African to claim a Monument victory after a close sprint finish. The results highlight Pogačar's exceptional form ahead of the Tour de France and a breakthrough moment for Le Court in women's cycling.
