Arnaud De Lie (Lotto) proved he is back to his best with a commanding victory atop the Citadelle de Namur in the Grand Prix de Wallonie.
The Belgian shot out of the peloton as they caught late attacker Victor Lafay (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) and held off second-placed Emilien Jeannière (TotalEnergies) and Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty) in third.
The move included Edoardo Zamperini (Arkéa-B&B Hotels), Kamil Gradek (Bahrain Victorious), Martin Urianstad Bugge (Uno-X Mobility), Kenny Molly (Van Rysel Roubaix), and Bram Dissel (BEAT).
On the Côte d’Ermeton (1.8km at 3.6%) with 36km to go, the peloton had the breakaway in sight, but even though Dissel was dropped and dangling ahead of them, they weren’t ready to catch the escapees quite yet.
