I watched the final 50kms. or so. Won't spoil it for you if you haven't seen it yet.
Good race.

Yeah... most of the elements that make De Ronde great; tactics, course, competition. Could've used some rain and wind but other than that it was de Mooiste.

They showed some stats on screen after one of the climbs, and, if I read it correctly, it looked like Van Avermaet climbed it at 28km/h. It was a short but steep climb.
