2021 winner Tadej Pogačar pulled out of the race the day before due to a family emergency,[3] with commentators & riders stating that the race would be much more open as a result.[4] The 257.2km (159.8miles) route from Liège to Liége was similar to that of recent years,[5] with the key difference being the omission of Côte des Forges from the route following severe flooding in July 2021.[6]
World champion Julian Alaphilippe and five other riders were injured in a large crash with around 60km to go.[7] With 30km to go, Remco Evenepoel of Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team attacked on the Côte de La Redoute, and soloed the last 14km to victory in Liège, winning by 48 seconds. The podium places were decided by a sprint finish, with Quinten Hermans beating Wout van Aert for second place.
