Alaphilippe celebrates too early and loses men’s raceBritain’s Lizzie Deignan wins women’s editionThe Tour de
France runner-up Primoz Roglic won the Liège-Bastogne-Liège classic on Sunday, pipping Julian Alaphilippe on the line while the world champion was raising his arms in celebration. Britain’s Lizzie Deignan won women’s race for her third victory since the season resumed.
Frenchman Alaphilippe left his sprinting line in a group of five, hampering Swiss Marc Hirschi in the process, and with victory in sight, stopped pedalling to celebrate. But Roglic, who lost the Tour’s yellow jersey in the final time trial this month, pursued his effort and crossed the line first.
