How to watch the Liège-Bastogne-Liège while abroad

What to expect from Liège-Bastogne-Liège
Liège-Bastogne-Liège is the third and last of the three Ardennes Classics, with the other two being Amstel Gold Race (which is not, in fact, in the Ardennes), and the mid-week Flèche Wallonne.
This year's Liège-Bastogne-Liège take place on Sunday April 27. The men's race does pretty much what it says on the tin, starting in Liège, heading south to Bastogne on the Luxembourg border and returning to Liège, by a slightly more convoluted route.
The women's race, the Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes, begins in Bastogne and follows the men's route back to Liège. Both are long and very hilly races, with the men's event covering 252km (156 miles) with 152.9km (95 miles), with 4,300m and 2,750m of climbing respectively.
As the oldest race on the calendar, it's unsurprising that it is classified as one of the five cycling Monuments. With so much climbing, it is well suited to Grand Tour stars, and recent editions of the men's race have been won by Tadej Pogačar, Remco Evenepoel and Primož Roglič, while Demi Vollering and Annemiek van Vleuten, have won recent editions of the women's edition.
Defending champions this year are Pogačar (UAE-Team Emirates) and Grace Brown (FDJ-Suez), who has retired.
