It’s raining.
I hoped that Evenepoel would try a long range attack, because I don’t see him with the others on Huy. But with this weather I’m not so sure. On the other hand he can take it as a quality training.
If they all arrive to the last climb, I only imagine Nys beating (or trying to) Pogacar.
I don’t think Evenepoel will want to get to Huy with Pogacar withour trying something. I also think they want to get rid of Nys, make it hard, which I think would be to Skjelmose’s benefit - but if it’s cold and raining I am not so sure, last year he had to be carried off the bike. Granted, that was a special situation with sleet and 5 degrees and wind.
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.
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 2nd - 3rd position of the peloton lead by one or two of his teammates, taking more wind than any other rider.

Unfortunately my Max feed refuses to load, so I can’t watch it… at least it was cheap!
You always can see the las km on YouTube
