The 63rd edition of the Liège–Bastogne–Liège road cycling race in Belgium was held on 24 April 1977.[1] French rider Bernard Hinault won his first monument classic, after beating André Dierickx in a two-man sprint.
Summary
Six riders – Eddy Merckx, Roger De Vlaeminck, Freddy Maertens, André Dierickx, Dietrich Thurau and Bernard Hinault – were in front of the race. While all eyes were on Eddy Merckx, André Dierickx launched an attack at 8 km from the finish. Frenchman Bernard Hinault was the only one to respond and beat Dierickx in the sprint.[2] A faltering Merckx, in his final display in Liège, finished a disappointing sixth.[3]
The race was run in bad weather, with cold and rain affecting riders. Only 24 of 143 riders finished the race.[1]
