● Four days after Puck Pieterse's victory over Demi Vollering in La Flèche Wallonne Femmes, the Dutch pair will meet again on Sunday in Liège... where Pieterse also beat her compatriot in the 2024 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
● The ninth edition of Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes will also see the return of the first conqueror of the Ardent City, Anna van der Breggen, supported at SD Worx-Protime by world champion Lotte Kopecky and the surprise winner of the Amstel Gold Race Ladies, Mischa Bredewold.
● Third on Wednesday in Huy and second in the last two editions of La Doyenne, Elisa Longo Borghini approaches the race with the highest ambitions, while Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, recent winner of the Paris-Roubaix Femmes avec Zwift, is another big name to watch.


Notable riders: Pieterse, Vollering, Kopecky, Longo Borghini, Labous, Dygert, Muzic, Lippert, Bredewold, Chabbey, Kerbaol, Persico, Fisher-Black

The final Classic of the season? It seems very wrong but it's kinda true I guess until Lombardia pulls its weight and Emilia gives the women more than a hockey stick profile.

Maybe in terms of coinciding with men's ones it fits, however, but frankly Plouay deserves the status for the women, it's more historic and traditional than most of the "actual" Classics.

Don't forget that Emilia has had two ascents of San Luca in the past two editions, so it is at least not a regulation shaped hockey stick anymore, but it should of course be easy enough for them to spice up the route some more.
