Bardet indeed second, good work not waiting when it looked like the small chase group would catch him. MVDP third, fair play to him for working for the podium.

(My Dutch girlfriend keeps saying that myself and the British commentators are pronouncing Liege–Bastogne–Liege incorrectly. She says it’s Luik and Bastinaken, or something, but I’m not getting into that argument with her or anyone else!).

^ if you speak flemish is Luik, confused us mightily when driving around looking for 'Liege' on the road signs :-)

It's a French speaking area though isn't it, not Dutch?

Looks like the break will win in the women's race and it will be between Brown, Chabbey and Cadzow.

In Dutch it is indeed Luik-Bastenaken-Luik.
In French Liège-Bastogne-Liège.

Bastogne is known for the Battle of the Bulge in the second World War.
