Bewildering tactics be BEX who are still waiting for their first win of the year - They had 5 riders in the reduced peleton which was being soft paced by SD Worx. Surely you get one of their riders to attack with Garcia and Music.

Why would anyone let Kopecky go in the break?!
She is better than a large part of the peloton though. And not many pure climbers are left in the race.Because she isn't a climber.
FdJ should have had Grace Brown in that break instead of Le Net, then it could have been very exciting.
No TV signal and they're not even on the climb yet

It's alright, a few of us decided to take leave of our senses and underestimate Pauliena Rooijakkers' ability to get herself into trouble before she gets to the bit that suits her in stage races.I picked the wrong BEX rider in the prediction game, but that was always a worry.
Great performances from Van Anrooij and Persico on a climb like this. I didn't think Muzic had recovered enough to be able to ride so well here after being dropped early in Itzulia.
Ten years ago, the coverage of Flèche Wallonne was one of the RTBF commentary guys sticking his phone out the window when the riders appeared at the top of the Mur.BTW, you all realise that there was a time when this was how people watched cycling; relying on a stationary cameras along the route.
How did those people cope?!
