On Sunday will take place the only WT (or .Pro) race ridden in the country of utilitarian cycling. It loops within the hills of the south of Dutch Limburg, an area located between Maastricht and Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle) that is a sort of northern piedmont of the Ardennes. It is rarely flat, always going up and down over small hills.
This year, the race seems strangely avoided both by Flandriens who need a rest after their races, and by the other top guys who wait a few days more for the 'real' Ardennaises. That leaves Evenepoel🇧🇪 as only mutant or semi-mutant.
Last year's winner, Skjelmose🇩🇰 will be there, but he's been so-so in Basque Country. Vauquelin🇫🇷 and Aranburu🇪🇸 are also coming from the Basque Country.
We just saw Grégoire🇫🇷 and Schmid🇨🇭 on the Flèche Brabançonne, we shall see them again after a day of rest. Jorgenson🇺🇸 is coming back after a month of rest.
