Description

The 2025 Liège–Bastogne–Liège was a Belgian road cycling one-day race that took place on 27 April. It was the 111th edition of Liège–Bastogne–Liège and the 19th event of the 2025 UCI World Tour. It was the finale of the Ardennes classics, following the Amstel Gold Race and La Flèche Wallonne. The route was 252 kilometres (157 mi) long, slightly shorter than previous editions, and featured eleven classified climbs, starting and ending in Liège.

The race was won by defending champion Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates XRG) after a solo attack, winning by over a minute ahead of Giulio Ciccone (Lidl–Trek) and Ben Healy (EF Education–EasyPost). Pogačar became the first rider to finish on the podium in six successive monuments.

Pre-race favorites

Defending champion Tadej Pogačar was widely considered by analysts to be the top favorite, having won the race twice before in 2021 and 2024, and coming into the race showing strong form by winning the Tour of Flanders and La Flèche Wallonne. Remco Evenepoel, also a two-time champion, was another top contender, alongside Mattias Skjelmose, who out-sprinted Pogačar and Evenepoel a week earlier to win the Amstel Gold Race. Other riders mentioned in pre-race analysis included Tom Pidcock, Kevin Vauquelin, Ben Healy, Lennert Van Eetvelt, Santiago Buitrago, and Romain Bardet.
