The route was identical to that of the 2017 event. At 135.5 km, the race was approximately half the distance of the men's event. It started in Bastogne, from where it headed north past Liège to finish in the industrial suburb of Ans on the same location as the men's race. The route featured four categorized climbs: the Côte de la Vecquée, Côte de La Redoute, Côte de la Roche aux faucons and Côte de Saint-Nicolas. The top of the last climb of Saint-Nicolas comes at 5.5 km from the finish.[1]
Teamsedit
Twenty-three teams, each with a maximum of six riders, started the race:[4]
20 riders remained at the front by the top of the climb of La Redoute, with 36 km to go. Pauline Ferrand-Prévot broke away after the top and soon had a 55-second lead, but was caught back by the chasers on the Côte de la Roche-aux-Faucons, at 20 km from the finish. Anna van der Breggen, Annemiek van Vleuten, Ashleigh Moolman and Megan Guarnier had a 25-second lead on the top, but were joined by six others 2 km later. Australian Amanda Spratt immediately accelerated and had a gap of 55 seconds with 10 km to go.[2]
On the Côte de Saint-Nicolas, Anna van der Breggen, Moolman and van Vleuten attacked from the chase group, and at the top van der Breggen had dropped the two others to chase Spratt on her own. The Dutch olympic champion caught Spratt with 5km to go and powered away on the uphill run-in to the finish to win her second consecutive Liège–Bastogne–Liège. Spratt finished second at 6 seconds, van Vleuten outsprinted Moolman for third place.[2][3]
