Belgian 1-2-3... Again
The 8th edition of Liege-Bastogne-Liege was held on July 6, 1913.
SPECIAL NOTE: This edition’s start-list contained only Professionals, but all riders were independent of trade teams.
Again, this year the race started in Liege, rode south to Bastogne, and returned to the city of Liege.
The winner Maurice Moritz led a Belgian sweep of the podium in 1913.
SPECIAL NOTE: The next year’s Liege-Bastogne-Liege 1914 was cancelled due to the growing threat of war. L-B-L would return in 1919 after WW1.
