No earlier mentioned twist of fate, but still a brothers' race.
Well done by Wallays. Congrats.

Terpstra closing not exactly a season to remember with a strong performance.

Ah! So that was Søren's problem! He's the younger brother!

And I think I know who that victory was for.

Yet another race where the deciding attack was made more than 20 kilometers from the finish line. Those early attacks have been the story of the season.

hats off Wallays, he managed to persist with 10-15 sec in front of FDJ doms for quite some time until the group was decimated by attacks... and Terpstra quite impressive (two punctures, slow repairs, and still managed to return upfront and attack).

Unlike the Tour flat stages where there is always a sprint finish.

Yeah. There is a tendency of fruitful attacks and early racing being decisive. Especially in the classics.

Less reduced sprints than usually.

Quite a difficult race to weigh up. Alot of damage was actually done by the wind before the gravel sectors were reached. Felt bad for Kragh who was going well when he punctured. I like the idea of the gravel sectors but i think they'd work better with a stronger overall field. The race missed the stronger WT teams.

Quickstep is protesting this race because they got too many flats and Lefevere got angry.
