Garmin Sharp came to Liege-Bastogne-Liege with a strong team and the winner from 2013, Dan Martin. That left them with a lot of different cards to play, and they seemed ready to play everyone. Once the peloton was within a minute of the remnants of the early break, the American, Alex Howes, was able to get a respectable gap from the peloton. They may have been to busy marking each other to take any notice of Howes, although it wasn't long before a few other opportunist jumped from the pack to give him some company and some help.
