Шаблон:Infobox cycling race report The 57th edition of the Liège–Bastogne–Liège road cycling race in Belgium was held on 25 April 1971.[1] Belgian Eddy Merckx concluded his second win in the monument classic, after beating his countryman Georges Pintens in a two-man sprint.[2]

Summary

Cycling icon Eddy Merckx attacked solo in Rocourt, at 92 kilometers from the finish in Liège, and soon had a five-minute advantage over his pursuers. In a rare display, he suffered a sudden fatigue on the Mont-Theux and was joined by Georges Pintens. Pintens failed to distance a tired Merckx, and Merckx managed to outsprint his fellow Belgian at the line to seal his second victory in the classic.[3]

The race was run in harrowing weather conditions, with snow and cold rampaging the peloton. 27 of 122 starters finished the race.[2] Years later, one of Merckx' soigneurs revealed that Merckx, suffering from exhaustion after the race, needed to shower on a chair.[3]
