The predictions for the Liège Bastogne Liège can be found in Table 1 and are based on Zweeler game points (so you do not see e.g. probabilities). In the Zweeler game’s riders score points by ending up in the top 25 of a race. The first place is good for 120 points, the 25th spot yields just 1 point. Points scored as overall winner (separate prediction) are not included. Since it is a single race game more expected points indeed mean a higher probability of winning. Furthermore, keep in mind that:

  • Our predictions are based on quantitative models and are presented in hard tables instead of stories.
  • We are continuously improving our prediction models and some type of predictions may be better than others (especially the classics/single day race algorithms have room for improvement).
  • Always combine these cycling predictions with other information.
  • The predictions are generated for the riders on the preliminary startlist that we downloaded the 27th of April from Zweeler.
