The route 2010

For the last three decades, the Province of Liège has been pursuing an energetic sports policy, based on a balanced combination of amateur and professional sports.
The many major sports events it organises help to boost its image as “Belgium’s most sporting province” while bringing significant economic benefits.
As well as the traditional Ardennes classics, the Province of Liège has welcomed the global cycling elite during the three great Tours: 10 visits by the Tour de France, the great departure of the Giro d’Italia in 2006 and the Spanish Vuelta last year.
In July, the Province of Liège will once again host two stages of the Tour de France: Brussels-Spa and Wanze-Arenberg Porte du Hainaut.
