I agree. I see them all at the front, I expect an attack from Remco on the next climbs Cherave or Huy, climbing hard by the team, and then, at the top the attack. There are around 40km to the finish.

Unfortunately my Max feed refuses to load, so I can't watch it... at least it was cheap!

There was indeed nothing else but the last km to see this year – even by the standards of la Flèche Wallonne. 😉

No race at all: not a single attack even in despair or for the show, no pursuit, no high pace, no acceleration/testing in any of the climbs before the last one. Sorry, I forgot that there was an attempt at making an echelon, which lasted only 1/4 mile...

Beside that, the only event was one fall, where Skjelmose eliminated himself.

And one point I noted: like Berthet on the Tour du Jura on Saturday, Evenepoel needlessly stayed for dozens of miles in 2^nd^ - 3^rd^ position of the peloton lead by one or two of his teammates, taking more wind than any other rider.
