It was the finale of the Ardennes classics, following the Amstel Gold Race and La Flèche Wallonne. The route was 252 kilometres (157 mi) long, slightly shorter than previous editions, and featured eleven classified climbs, starting and ending in Liège.[1] Pre-race favorites![]() Defending champion Tadej Pogačar was widely considered by analysts to be the top favorite, having won the race twice before in 2021 and 2024, and coming into the race showing strong form by winning the Tour of Flanders and La Flèche Wallonne. Remco Evenepoel, also a two-time champion, was another top contender, alongside Mattias Skjelmose, who out-sprinted Pogačar and Evenepoel a week earlier to win the Amstel Gold Race. Other riders mentioned in pre-race analysis included Tom Pidcock, Kevin Vauquelin, Ben Healy, Lennert Van Eetvelt, Santiago Buitrago, and Romain Bardet.[2][3] Teams25 teams took part in the race, including all eighteen UCI WorldTeams and seven UCI ProTeams.[4] The Uno-X Mobility team wore retro 7-Eleven jerseys for the race, a callback to the 7-Eleven sponsored-team that raced in the 1980s. The jerseys, worn only for this single race, were intended to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the former team's debut at the race, and highlight sponsor Reitan's relationship with 7-Eleven in Scandinavia.[5] UCI WorldTeams
