Liege route altered

ANS: Liege-Bastogne-Liege organisers modified the course on Sunday due to snow making the roads dangerous. Between 45km and 75km, the route was altered to avoid going through a forest where the roads were covered in snow. It meant 5km being removed from the total distance, which was reduced to just 248km — riders are expected to take more than six hours to complete the gruelling course.
