Tadej Pogacar won the 2026 Liège-Bastogne-Liège, but was fined 5,000 CHF during the podium ceremony for a jersey publicity issue; the fine was later reported to be revoked by organizers.
Tadej Pogačar received a 5,000 CHF fine from the Liège-Bastogne-Liège race jury for the 'wrong place of publicity on the world champion jersey' during the podium ceremony, despite winning the Ardennes classic for a fourth time; Paul Seixas finished second and Remco Evenepoel third, with the jury providing no further explanation.
Remco Evenepoel admitted he would have exploded if he had tried to follow Tadej Pogačar’s searing attack on La Redoute, finishing Liège-Bastogne-Liège in third and saying that position was the maximum he could manage. He then sprinted to third behind Pogačar and Paul Seixas. The result caps Evenepoel’s Spring Classics with two third-place finishes (Liège and Tour of Flanders on debut) and a win at Amstel Gold Race, as Pogačar secured La Doyenne.
Ben Healy finished fourth in the Liège-Bastogne-Liège race after being outsprinted by Tom Pidcock and Santiago Buitrago on Quai des Ardennes. Healy had been well positioned in Remco Evenepoel’s orbit ahead of the attack and although he was unable to track the world champion’s acceleration, he rode doggedly in pursuit of second place. The 22-year-old Irishman has already won the GP Industria & Artigianato and a stage of the Settimana Coppi e Bartali this season, and he is now set to return to Italy for a Grand Tour debut at the Giro d’Italia.
