I must say ni selection like last year, but still a good final ahead I think. Small bunch, only favourites, small roads.

And Sagan, and GvA...
Nah, Sagan is the superman of cycling but often freaking dumb.. He has been pulling and reacting too much.

Matthews hasn't had wind in the face. Same with Colbrelli if he is still there.

These half-assed attacks are so frustrating.

Amstel is back at "Liege annoyance". At least we know what to expect with Fleche Wallone.

I think there are faster guys than Matthews here.

Matthews tends to sprint backwards after a hard race.
He cant beat sagan or gva.

Matthews told danish TV2 before the start that his sprint is off after his shoulder injury.

If no reasonable group can get away there is nothing that can be done. Last year the winning break attacked on the kruisberg and they were let go to be fair. Was not going to happen again.

It's amazing that the break still has 40 secs to the main group. Horrible timing by the peloton.

Yeah there 5 guys who were let go which was enough for the 2 best to blast away on the Keutenberg to ride off into the sunset in a 7 man group
