Product Description

Few riders are foolhardy or ambitious enough to predict they can conquer the Liege-Bastogne-Liege bike race. Even fewer actually manage to achieve that goal. The last, the most venerable and by far the most strategically complex of all the Spring Classics, Liege-Bastogne-Liege has retained its own very special, dangerously seductive character for over a century. Run off on demanding and near-inaccessible terrain through the Ardennes hills of Belgium, a seemingly interminable series of climbs slowly grinds down all but the most persistent, courageous, and fit of the stars on an eight-hour odyssey. Regularly frequented by the Tour stars, packed with the fiercest and most ruthless race action, La Doyenne makes an intriguing transition from the northern cobbled Classics to the stage races of summer. Liege-Bastogne-Liege is a race designed to create legends of cycling, and this dvd is a painstakingly crafted reflection of this utterly captivating event. Commentary by Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen.
