Daniel Martin (Garmin-Sharp), the nephew of former Tour de France winner Stephen Roche won the Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2013 edition, outsprinting Katusha Team’s Joaquim Rodríguez. Alejandro Valverde (Movistar Team) won the sprint in the small chasing group and took third place.
After the breakaway neutralized, the first serious attempt came from Alberto Contador (Saxo-Tinkoff) on the Côte de Colonster. He quickly got caught but the selection was made. Only the Giro d’Italia 2012 winner Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin-Sharp), Carlos Betancur (AG2R La Mondiale), Rigoberto Uran (Sky), Igor Anton (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Giampaolo Caruso (Katusha), and Rui Costa (Movistar) managed to stay with him. Pre-race favorite, UCI world champion Philippe Gilbert (BMC) and last years’ second-finisher Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) were unable to follow.
Then Hesjedal attacked and managed to open a gap of 20 seconds. But he was eventually caught by Betancur, Valverde, Martin, Rodriguez, and Scarponi on the Côte de Saint-Nicolas. He was able to stay in this group and worked hard for Martin, and with his effort, the chasing peloton couldn’t catch this group.
Under the 1 km to go banner, Rodríguez attacked. Only Martin was able to follow him. The 27-year-old Irishman caught Rodríguez in the last 500 meters and won the sprint duel.
