Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) wins the 205.1km Ardennes classic Flèche Wallonne.

An 8-man breakaway tries to liven up the race, with Desal, Leknessund, Dversnes, Shmidt, Paquot, Guglielmi, Foss and Stannard.

The last attackers are caught with 7 km to go. On the Cote de Cherave Christen makes a good push and skims the group.

On the Mur de Huy, Healy tries to extend his lead, but at the hardest point Pogacar starts very fast and creates a gap. The Slovenian triumphs easily ahead of Vauquelin and Pidcock .
