The 10th edition of Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes saw Demi Vollering (FDJ United-Suez) become the first three-time winner of the race as she attacked on the Côte de La Redoute and rode solo for 34km to the finish line. After also winning La Flèche Wallonne Femmes midweek, Vollering was again far too strong for her rivals, reaching the finish on Quai des Ardennes a significant 1’29” margin ahead of Puck Pieterse (Fenix-Premier Tech) and Kasia Niewiadoma Phinney (Canyon//Sram zondacrypto), who completed the podium. The 2017 and 2018 winner Anna van der Breggen (Team SD Worx – Protime) finished fourth, crossing the line just behind Niewiadoma, whilst the top five was rounded out by Paula Blasi (UAE Team ADQ), after a great week for the Spanish rider.
