The route 2009

For now three decades, the Province of Liège has conducted a dynamic sports policy, insuring a fair balance between professional and amateur sports.
Organizing numerous sporting events boosts its image as “The most sporty Province of Belgium”, and also entails significant economic spin-off.
Among these events, the Province of Liège is fortunate to host the international cycling pack during the yearly Ardennes classics. Several Tour de France stages have taken place in Liège, where the 2006 Giro d’Italia also set off. On September 1st 2009, a Spanish Vuelta stage finish will take place in Liège. We’ve come full circle!
