Approaching the 2023 edition of the Flèche Wallonne, an all-too-familiar question saturated social media and broader cycling commentary - who can beat Tadej Pogačar?
The answer, proved emphatically on the Mur de Huy, was no one in the current field. Pogačar rode clear of his major rivals on the final uphill sprint, making his attack with 150m remaining, ahead of Mattias Skjelmose (Trek-Segafredo) and Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious).
