Demi Vollering (SD Worx) as been having an absolutely amazing spring season! As the peloton caught all of the earlier escapees at the base of the Mur de Huy, she just up the pace. The increase was enough to leave everyone struggling to get to her wheel. The last to lose contact was Katarzyna Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM). The only questions was had she gone too soon. The final climb of Fleche Wallonne is like climbing a wall. Should someone go too soon, they can find themselves unable to sustain the effort up the kilometer and a third climb that tops out at an eighteen percent gradient. Given the season that she and the team have been having, I betting she’ll just continued to increase her advantage. If you are wondering Niewiadoma finished in eleventh place a full twenty six seconds behind the winner on the day
