One of the spring’s most important one-day races, Liège–Bastogne–Liège U23 takes place this weekend, when the peloton will tackle a 177km course - the longest of the last nine years - containing many of the region’s most important climbs. After what should be a rather quiet first part of the race, things are expected to heat up in the last 90 kilometers, where the riders will tackle a total of six ascents, including the legendary Côte de la Redoute.
Henrique Bravo will be at the start of the Belgian race for the second time, having made his debut last year, and the Brazilian - victorious at the Tour of Antalya last month and best young rider of the Circuit des Ardennes one week ago - will hope to fight for a good result this weekend. Joining him on our roster are Mexican talent Said Cisneros, Federico Savino, Jasper Schoofs, sixth in Paris-Roubaix Espoirs, Gauthier Servranckx and Victor Soenens, who has impressed against the pros earlier this season, at Volta Comunitat Valenciana.
