Intermittent stream of Flèche Ardennaise. I don't know if anyone can challenge Widar. Last images were 30 minutes ago, I think they were on Wanne then?

Bad weather close to where they are, so doubt we will see a lot from a 5G stream. Was already bad last year in good weather so. Half the parcours is in forests with bad signal. A bit sad, cause one of the better u23 races every year. Imo the real LBL u23 cause it's actually hard.

There's a few who could maybe challenge Widar if Widar doesn't have a super good day. Finn for example. Maybe a pro at the start.

EDIT: it's been raining hard for the past 30 minutes, thunderstorm even. So yeah.

We could see Rafferty attacking on Haute Levée and then later joined by Miquel and O'Brien. After the descent of Rosier, no further live images. If I recognised the roads correctly.

They got almost caught on one the next climbs and then the race was neutralized due to a serious thunderstorm. I've seen images, it was impossible to ride. They restarted some time later. I think Widar and Finn went clear on the (real) Stockeu.

Kristoff needs a faster lead out so that he can sprint from the front to get those last wins it seems. Missing Gudmestad a bit.
