2007 Liege-Bastogne-Liege & Fleche Wallone
Forging its way through the harshly beautiful landscape of the Belgian Ardennes hills, Liege-Bastogne-Liege is the oldest Classic of them all - and arguably the most complicated to win.
A frequently rain-soaked race of pure attrition, dotted with short but viciously steep climb after climb after climb, Liege is also the culmination of the Northern Classics season, a tantalizingly elusive last chance for the one-day specialists to make it into the history books. The one thing they know for sure before starting Liege is that they will have it tough: 260 kilometers long with altitude changes as hard as any Alpine stage of the Tour de France.
At Liege, no rider can predict how far he will go before cracking, but the prestige a Liege win brings is worth all the pain. Small wonder that this year, as in so many other years, a star-studded host of riders eager for glory will be drawn to the start like filings to a magnet of the 106th edition of this race. Among them will be the reigning World Champion, Paolo Bettini, the flamboyant and fearless 2006 Liege winner Alejandro Valverde of Spain, the enigmatic Kazakh star Alexandre Vinokourov, and the valient young Belgian Phillipe Gilbert.
