The 2024 UCI World Tour returns to Belgium this weekend, with the gruelling roads of the Ardennes facing the planet’s best riders. They don’t come much tougher than La Doyenne – ‘The Old Lady’ – the oldest of the classic Monuments races. Here’s where to watch 2024 Liège-Bastogne-Liège live streams online for free – and from anywhere in the world with a VPN.

It’s a real pity that 24-year-old Belgian Remco Evenepoel has been denied the chance to become only the fifth man in La Doyenne’s 132-year history to win it three times in a row. The current number one-ranked rider broke a collarbone in a crash a fortnight ago and is hoping to get fit enough to make his Tour de France debut and Olympic Games later in the year.

That leaves the door open for 2021 winner Tadej Pogačar to return to the top of the podium. Pogi Star is in strong form this season, already tasting victory at at the Strade Bianche and Volta a Catalunya. Most likely to test him is Dutch rider Mathieu van der Poel, who took a second successive Paris–Roubaix earlier in the month and has looked impressive throughout the 2024 World Tour so far.

Pogačar, van der Poel, Tom Pidcock, Simon Yates and the rest of the elite field will have to navigate the infamously arduous 259km route, taking on some climbs – Col du Rosier, Cote de Desine and the Cote de la Redoute – that wouldn’t look out of place in the most mountainous Tour de France stages.
