    Kwiat seemed set to take the win going in to the last 200 or so, and then just... died. Gilbert was very powerful in keeping the push on, and seemed to take it at a canter in the end.

    Gilbert out of remaining Ardennes with kidney injury
    The Belgian champion was diagnosed with a tear to his right kidney and will need to take a week of complete recovery, ruling him out of Wednesday’s Fleche Wallonne, and Liege-Bastogne-Liege, on Sunday.

    From a purely (selfish) Irish perspective, this makes Dan the clear Quick-Step leader for the two remaining Ardennes classics (since Alaphilippe is also injured).

    Alas for Fleche Wallone, it's hard to see anyone beating Valverde. So best place for Dan could be second (again).

    LBL is far more open.
