He was second after what was maybe the most impressive attack in modern FW history. It was a bit too early though and Ala (another ATG stomper) passed him just before the line but they set a record of 2'36''.

Where can you bet on the probability of a reduced breakaway group?
Arriving first in the last 1300 meters, the odds must be low.
Surviving the favorite field to the line, or 1-2 of the favorites in a reduced breakaway group could be interesting, but these years - low chance.
If for nothing else, just to have an excuse for reserving more TV time than 3 minutes.

They are all scared of Mauri Vansevenant.

To be fair, on a finish that's as shoulder to shoulder as this one I would be scared of Vansevenant too.
Sad that four on the list are injured, or have been and are just taking first tentative steps to race again.
Its been a terrible season so far for injuries.

his record as an uphill finisher is superior to gregoire
What a shame Pozzovivo isn't riding this then.
Besides the Tour de Suisse and the Tour de France, this is the one race missing from Roglic's palmares (in my opinion). I think he had the potential to be the best rider in history on the Mur de Huy. That he has not even won it once is a real shame.
The crazy thing about Fleche is that I think it was won from a break every single time since the finish was moved to the Mur de Huy, only to then be won from the peloton for the last 20 years every time.
If this race was not on a Wednesday, I think it would have been won from a break 2-3 times in the last 20 years. It is absolutely not as impossible as some peole make it out to be. Evenepoel or Pogacar could have it probably done if their team went all in for them, but sadly they are not even starting.

giro prep or injury since 2019 except 2020 where the calendar was too busy and he already had too much on his plate
Unfortunately you can't shot an arrow without a bow.
If the team ever decides to fully support Rogla, sharpen him with selfless support on some build up races and after delivers him in a good position on the ultimate climb, then we can talk.

I know there were some reasons but it's still unbelievable considering Rogla's career length and his puncher skills.
We can i guess enjoy some revenge for LBL. Still beautiful.

While Seixas is maybe not a real alien yet, he is definitely the rider present that has shown a lot of signs of becoming one.
Clear favorite for me here, if he is capable of producing the efforts that got him clear of everybody except Pogacar in previous races he will win this one against the humans.

It's just one of Netserk's idiosyncrasies. Criticise every scheduling decision of riders he doesn't like and agreeing with every scheduling decision of riders he supports.
Vauquelin can't really win this race in normal conditions (the two second places in the rain are a bit of a mirage).
Seixas is the favourite, but Mur de Huy is a bit of a special type of effort where it is difficult to tell how well somone will do until you have seen it at least once. His explosivity is also not the best in history. What he has going for him here is that he is the best overall rider at the start.
Skjelmose or Martinez could also win.

A proper race this.
No dumb long range attacks.
A doomed breakaway, a useless attack on Cherave and then a nice uphill sprint.
Ciclismo is back.

Yeah, they should just start the race in Huy for a more intense, 3 km experience. 200 km intro is a bit too much.
