Tour de Wallonie 2021 (July 20-24)

After a year as a key Tour preparation race, Tour de Wallonie returns to its usual slot as the intermezzo between the Tour and the rest of the season. Obviously the area has suffered heavily in last week's floods and Stage 2 has been cancelled as a result. The three after it should be televised.

The final lap is not identical to the 2020 stage won by Démare, but the combination of final climb and drag to the finish line is. Here's the climbs on the circuit:

I have to say that I'm personally very happy to see him winning again.

And although he was just 21st today, I really hope Jakobsen will also manage to grab a win this season (if not in this race, then maybe in the Vuelta).
