The roles are reversed. Pog is racing, Wout and MVDP are not. He is hot off of winning Tour of Flanders, but there are others to challenge him.
Last year it was Kwiatkowski, the former world champ, who won it in a head to head against Cosnefroy. The group with MVDP came in 20 seconds behind.

Notable rider: Kwiatkowski, Pogacar, Powless, Bilbao, Gaudu, Higuita, Skjelmose, Bardet, Carapaz, Schmid, Pidcock, Cosnefroy, Trentin, Mollema, Mohoric, Costa, Benoot

What an amazing turnaround was the last year finish. Initially Constnefroy was 1st but after a correction my compatriot won! This year Kwiato will have it difficult following his problems. The profile indicates it's a very hilly race with a large elevation gain so Tadej is #1 candidate to win it, possibly from a small group (if he's still not way past his peak).

I hope the promised impoved photo finish equipment will favour Cosnefroy

How come Vinge isn't racing this with his super climbing watts. Surely he would have a chance. Or Remco.

Vinge is currently in a reset period ("family time" according to the team) and then will undergo further upgrades before the Tour to slay the chubby-faced killer again.
Remco will probably come from the altitude only for Liege.

So they decided to improve photo finish tech this year. Didn't they check on who is racing? Such a big waste of money.

But OK fair enough.

This is probably the easiest of the three Ardennes races for Pogacar this year. Liège has Evenepoel and his trackrecord at Flèche is surprisingly bad. Here, on the other hand, the obvious outcome is a solo from Eyserbosweg to win by at least half a minute.
