Overview
- Seixas, whose late surge Wednesday on the Mur de Huy decided the race, won by about three seconds over Mauro Schmid and Ben Tulett.
- The 19-year-old from Team Decathlon-CMA CGM became the youngest winner in the event's history.
- The 200.3 km route from Herstal ended on the 1.4 km Mur de Huy, a brutally steep ramp that often determines this Ardennes classic.
- Crashes in the tense finale included Anton Schiffer sliding into a roadside ditch, though he was able to continue.
- The victory follows his recent Vuelta al País Vasco title and near-miss to Pogacar at Strade Bianche, pointing to strong form ahead of Sunday’s Monument in Liège.
