Like Tadej Pogacar for the men, the Dutch Demi Vollering will also aim for the triple in the Ardennes classics on Sunday April 23 from Liège-Bastogne-Liège women. ” We will try to finish the job », underlined the world number 2 in the UCI ranking after her demonstration last Wednesday in the wall of Huy to win the Flèche Wallonne, three days after having already won the Amstel Gold Race. Only one runner has succeeded in this pass of three and it is none other than her compatriot Anna van der Breggen – in 2017, the year of the first edition of Liège-Bastogne-Liège women – who is today the sports director of Vollering in the SD Worx team. The Dutch formation is flying over the classics season with already eleven victories since the beginning of spring. And Vollering, 26, took more than her share since, before raging in the Ardennes, she also won the Strade Bianche and Through Flanders. An ultra-complete athlete, she will start as the big favorite on Sunday for the 143 km of a race which she has already won in 2021, with Van der Breggen as a teammate. Especially since her main rival on paper, her compatriot Annemiek van Vleuten shines less than usual.
