The power is there in the group, just depends on commitment.

Great ride and brave way to win.
The rest all looking round at WVA.

Great ride by Alaphilippe. WVA an anchor in the second group as no one thought they could beat him.

WVA needed to try what MVDP did at Amstel and just pull, given nobody was willing to cooperate properly. But easy for me to say sitting here.
Made for a good tense finale though. Chapeau Julian.

On question on Sagan on previous page - he'd considered the parcours too hard for him, so opted not to race. A few of his ilk had made similar decisions, though as it played out not grossly dissimilar to an Ardennes Classic, you have to wonder if they maybe slightly misjudged it.

WvA, s legs just popped and he had to sit down as Loulou squeezed on the pedals up that last .5k of the climb and that was that.
I wonder if Marion Rousse gave her man the same look of love that she gave her then husband Gallopin as Tony took Yellow at the Tour some years ago? Or better as Loulou is her current beau...
Pidcock rode well for 240k and frankly that was 40k more than I thought he would ride to. Excellent performance, 2023 onwards and maybe before then will be so exciting for him and us watching.

Thanks MM. I hadn't seen a start list or anything but he does sometimes do the peloton ninja thing and just appear for the finale.

Fleche Wallone today
Binckbank Dutch stages cancelled owing to increased Covid might only leave Friday and Saturday stages and possibly Friday unlikely as Dutch start town.
