Liege-Bastogne-Liege Femmes 2024 LIVE – Grace Brown takes thrilling victory in ahead of Elisa Longo Borghini

Like we said, the party is only just getting started. The Vuelta Espana Femenina starts in seven days while next week sees the men's peloton take on the Tours of Turkey and Romandy - including one familiar face making his return.

Then we're straight into the Giro d'Italia, and the best part? It's all live on Eurosport and discovery+, meaning you can watch live cycling every single day for the next month!

Well we certainly hope you enjoyed that as much as we did - it was certainly a different flavour to the men's edition and Grace Brown proved a popular winner after her previous heartbreak at this race!

You genuinely couldn't call it for the whole 152.9 kilometres of racing and every rider at the front gave it all they had.

We'll have highlights coming up later on Eurosport and discovery+ and don't forget that we're only just getting going: the next month offers even more action for both the women's and men's pelotons - as impossible as it sounds! We'll catch you then...

That's nearly all from us, but you can relive all the action from today's scintillating race here:

Elise Chabbey really animated today's race, including slimming down the initial lead group of eight to just the trio of her, Brown and Cadzow:

"I was in a good breakaway, it was a good race for us today, I had great legs, when we were three we tried to push for the win.

After that absolutely barnstorming finish, here's how they came home:

It's Brown's first road race win of the season, and what a way to do it! Here's all she said afterwards:

"It’s an amazing day, I wanted to be in the break, we always know a strong break can go in the middle section of the race and we worked really well together. I felt like on my limit on the climbs towards the end but once I survived Roche-aux-Faucons I thought ‘it’s on’, so good."

[On the crash] "I was a little bit stressed of course, I lost out and almost crashed but thankfully saved it and caught back onto the group so then I just had to try and calm myself and be patient for the final."

[Most beautiful victory for you?] "I think so, it’s been a tough spring for me and then this week I finally started feeling like my old self and yeah I said to the team ‘I feel good for Liege’ and it’s a race that I have good memories already here so I’m really happy we could pull it off today."

Cadzow finished sixth after a monster effort to get into and stay in the front group:

"I had my doubts this morning but my team came around me and gave me so much fonfiece, we attacked and I just went from there.

"I didn't plan [for the finish], I just held on and my legs were pretty toasted by then and I just had to push and see what I had left.

What. A. Finish.

And Marianne Vos wins the sprint of the second group, but this is all about the front six! The Canyon/ /SRAM pair gave it everything but couldn't match the others in the sprint, Brown had a little gap to Longo Borghini but timed her sprint perfectly from about 150 metres out to take the win she's been waiting for this season!! By over a bikelength too.

WOW WOW WOW!!! Longo Borghini sat on Niewiadoma's wheel before opening her sprint and looked like she'd take the win, but Grace Brown came off her right at the last possible moment and wins ahead of the Italian with Vollering third!!!

Into the final kilometre and Niewiadoma has a few metres as Cadzow attempts to pull her back without success... IT'S ALL TO PLAY FOR!!!

It's still too close to call. We know it'll be from these six, but as Niewiadoma attempts another dig, Brown closes it down and they look at each other all over again.

The Canyon/ /SRAM pair remain with Vollering and Longo Borghini and the teammates are rolling attacks without success so far. Brown and Cadzow are back on too, and it's 45 seconds back to the Vos group.

That was almost curtains for Grace Brown, she got the angle wrong going around a roundabout and locked up her brakes, with Cadzow having to hop over a grass patch to avoid a crash!

And then they were six at the front... For about a second before Longo Borghini attacks again! Elise Chabbey somehow finds the energy to go with her and Grace Brown is able to jump across too but Vollering is behind.

The chasers are within view of the lead group! It's a handful of seconds in it, and they'll make contact before the end of this uncategorised ascent. Behind them, Bredewold, Vos, Markus, Ricarda Bauernfiend, Neve Bradbury (both Canyon/ /SRAM) and Juliette Labous (dsm-firmenich PostNL) are another 30 seconds back.

The leaders (Chabbey, Brown and Cadzow) are over over the Cote de Roche-aux-Faucons, but they face another ascent up the last uncategorised climb to while trying to stay away. In the peloton, Riejanne Markus is using the quick descent to attempt to pull Vos back into contention.

Her team have been setting it up and now the Italian champion attacks!!! She's drawn Vollering, Vos and Niewiadoma with the rest of the favourites chasing furiously behind!

And it's only a minute to the leading trio now. Chabbey knows it, she's pushing on and Cadzow is struggling to hold it. Who will join Pogacar as a 2024 Liege-Bastogne-Liege winner?

We're not far off what looks like will be the deciding climb of today. Lidl-Trek continue to drill it on the front of the peloton and will soon sweep up Perkins and Gigante, with the gap to the front now at 90 seconds.
