Fun fact about the Fleche Wallone Ladies winner Anna Van Der Breggen: She had her birthday yesterday. So today's race could be described as a late birthday present!

Wonderful effort from Jungels during his break. So much class for a youngster.

Ja shame man..was hoping he would have a bigger gap on the Mur..but when those climbers started to chase on the 2nd last climb that gap came down so fast.

Also have no idea how and why he went down, but he went down properly.

A fistfull of front brake maybe, Gen. All I know is rolled a fair bit. Caught the tailend of a replay of his crash on SS5 broadcast of the race.

That was too easy for Valverde!

Yah, haven't seen it just the little bit I read, but he annihilated the bunch, you gotta give it to him, the guy is a racer through and through, I like him, like 'berto and a few others he will never be found dozing in the sun at the back, he is out to win or at least go down fighting.

Today's race was into quite a headwind

Keeping the bunch big

 

That's why Jungels's break effort was very impressive hey

 

What dominion by Valverde

Complete control

 

Also a 3rd consecutive win for vd Breggen

Impressive stuff too
