La Doyenne Turns 100
In the 100 year history of Liege-Bastogne-Liege minor course changes have been common place. Two changes in 1992 were worthy of note:
1. The re-introduction of the famed Cote du Stockeu (home of the Merckx monument)
2. The more significant of the 2 was the finish line change to hilltop suburb of Liege in Ans.
