The Liège-Bastogne-Liège is readying up this morning and, as always, cycling's oldest and toughest monument will bring out the best riders in the world today. The 259.1km route contains 11 brutal Belgian climbs that will see the winner finish in around 6.5 hours.

With the weather largely bright and breezy, we could see some spectacular sprints and attacks in the latter stages. The action starts at 10.15am BST today. Make sure you know to watch a Liège-Bastogne-Liège live stream for free, wherever you are.

Nicknamed 'La Doyenne' ('The Old Lady'), the Liège-Bastogne-Liège is the race every rolling terrain specialist dreams of winning. The 2021 edition with be the 107th Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the current record holder is – yep, you guessed it – Eddy Merckx. The Cannibal won the LBL five times. Sunday's winner will be presented with €20,000 and a place in cycling history.

Last year, the race ended in controversy when Julian Alaphilippe crossed the line first and celebrated but was later stripped of a podium place for dangerous sprinting. When all was said and done, Primož Roglič came out on top. The Slovenian star will be back to defend his title this year.

As ever, the first 150km of the race will be used to form breakaway groups with the key battles reserved for the final stages of the ride. The 4.5km-long Col du Rosier, which crops up at the 197km mark, should give us a good indication as to who has the legs (and stomach) for what's to come. Fail that test and the race is all but over.

The 9km descent into Liège will feature attack after attack as tactics are torn up in an effort to conquer the ultimate Ardennes challenge. Fun fact: the organisers have seen sense and moved the finish line back to the historic city itself, which should make better viewing than a sad Belgian retail park.

The action will get underway at 10.15am UK time on Sunday, 25th April. Those in Australia, the US and parts of Europe can even get to watch for free. Make sure you know how to watch a Liège-Bastogne-Liège live stream from anywhere.

How to watch Liège-Bastogne-Liège abroad using a VPN

Even if you have subscribed to the relevant Liège-Bastogne-Liège rights holders, you won't be able to use them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you’re accessing aren’t aware of what you’re doing. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.

There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
