Peter Farazijn did most of the work for his leader Vandenbroucke and countered attacks from Paolo Bettini and Davide Rebellin. On the Côte de Saint-Nicolas, 7 km mi on from the finish, Michael Boogerd attacked early on the climb, but was countered by Vandenbroucke who broke clear and powered on solo to the finish in Ans. Vandenbroucke, who was second in the Tour of Flanders and seventh in Paris–Roubaix in the weeks before, claimed his first and only career monument win. Boogerd finished second at 30 seconds. Michele Bartoli was distanced by Maarten den Bakker in the final kilometre and finished a disappointing fourth.2004-02-06 Liège–Bastogne–Liège results http://www.uci.ch/english/road/world_cup/pre_2000/lbl99/result.htm 2023-10-16 https://web.archive.org/web/20040206063055/http://www.uci.ch/english/road/world_cup/pre_2000/lbl99/result.htm 2004-02-06 2004-02-06 1999 Liège–Bastogne–Liège report http://www.uci.ch/english/road/world_cup/pre_2000/lbl99/report.htm 2023-10-16 https://web.archive.org/web/20040206132618/http://www.uci.ch/english/road/world_cup/pre_2000/lbl99/report.htm 2004-02-06 Result Result (top 10)Liège–Bastogne–Liège 1999 (result) http://www.procyclingstats.com/race/Liege_Bastogne_Liege_1999 ProCyclingStats 16 April 2017 1 Frank Vandenbroucke BEL COF 1999 6h 25' 36" 2 Michael Boogerd NED RAB 1999 + 30" 3 Maarten den Bakker NED RAB 1999 + 41" 4 Michele Bartoli ITA MAP 1999 + 44" 5 Paolo Bettini ITA MAP 1999 + 54" 6 Niki Aebersold SUI RAB 1999 + 55" 7 Markus Zberg SUI RAB 1999 + 55" 8 Oscar Camenzind SUI LAM 1999 + 56" 9 Udo Bölts GER TEL 1999 + 56" 10 Laurent Roux FRA ALM 1999 + 56" References External links Official website Category:Liège–Bastogne–Liège Category:1999 in Belgian sport Category:1999 UCI Road World Cup Category:April 1999 sports events in Europe
