  "textContent": "The Spring Classics give us one last hurrah on Sunday at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the oldest Monument and one of the marquee opportunities on the calendar for the climbers to take a big one-day victory.\n\nSurprising no one, the big favorite to take that victory this weekend will be the two-time defending champion, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) – but he will have a few other headliners hoping to put on a show in the form of former winner Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) and rising star Paul Seixas (Decathlon CMA CGM). So much climbing star power has the potential to give us a fitting finale to the Monuments of the spring before the Grand Tour-filled stretch of the season that awaits us.\n\nHere is everything you need to know about the men's race at this year's edition of Liège-Bastogne-Liège.\n\n## The favorites\n\n⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Tadej Pogačar\n⭐⭐⭐⭐: Remco Evenepoel, Paul Seixas\n⭐⭐⭐: Tom Pidcock, Mattias Skjelmose, Giulio Ciccone\n⭐⭐: Kévin Vauquelin, Romain Gregoire, Benoît Cosnefroy\n⭐: Mauro Schmid, Ben Tulett, Tobias Halland Johannessen, Lenny Martinez, Christian Scaroni\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
