Cycle La Doyenne

Bienvenue en Belgique and welkom in België. Watch and ride the Ardennes Classics Liège-Bastogne-Liège Cycling tour 2026. Cycling in Belgium and especially the Ardennes, famous for steep climbs and tough winding bends. Cycle in Belgium, and you’ll be able to smell the clean, fresh air of the Ardennes. Jump on your bike and enjoy this magnificent Lìege Bastogne Lìege cycling tour. Immerse yourself on your road bike in one of Belgium’s most beautiful regions, the Ardennes. Hopefully, with lots of sunshine! The full route of the official Liege Bastogne Liege is a full 259km and a massive 4,400 metres of climbing – more than many other Sportives.

You can choose from three distances to ride: 80km, 150km, or the full route of 250km. Whichever challenge you decide to take, you will ride the Côte de la Roche-aux-Faucons and Côte de Cortil. To ride the famous La Redoute, you need to enter either the 150km or 250km ride.

Watch and Ride Liege-Bastogne-Liege

  • Feel the ambiance of the race as you follow the riders on the track from the start to the finish.
  • Saturday, April 25, will be a day you will never forget. The tour version of Liege-Bastogne-Liege is the most challenging cycling event during the Spring Classics season.
  • Ride steep, tough climbs and enjoy the fantastic atmosphere.
  • Cycle the Ardennes and explore the beautiful medieval villages on your way through the Ardennes.
  • Delight yourself in the Belgian gastronomic specialties.

Discover and cycle the Ardennes, which is especially relevant because of its rolling hills, beautiful valleys, ancient towns, and local gastronomic specialties. The Liège-Bastogne-Liège (La Doyenne) UCI World Tour Classic is since 1892 a classic Tour. Furthermore, Liège-Bastogne-Liège is one of the five cycle monuments. LBL is the toughest race with very difficult climbs, winding roads, and rolling hills. Due to the late winter, the race was sometimes affected by snow, and therefore Liège-Bastogne-Liège is a first-class challenger.
