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.
