Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) returned to his dominant best to claim his second title at a rain-soaked edition of La Flèche Wallonne, violently exploding away from the opposition around the steepest corner of the Mur de Huy, while still in the saddle, before riding solo to the victory.
Ben Healy (EF Education-EasyPost) had looked set to launch a long-range attack early on the climb, as Pogačar's lead-out from Jan Christen was coming to an end, however, the rainbow jersey then took one look back, saw his rivals faltering, and attacked away with extreme power to leave everyone behind.
