It was the young Arnaud De Lie (Lotto Soudal), 20, who won the 3rd stage of the Tour de Wallonie in Rochefort. At the end of the 194.3 kilometer, on a false flat finish, he sprinted ahead, and a good length, Biniam Girmay (Intermarché Wanty Gobert), 22 years old and Axel Laurance (B&B Hotels / KTM), 21 years old. A podium made up of young runners!
In the last kilometers, the Frenchman Kevin Vauquelin (Arkea Samsic), who started alone 5 kilometers from the finish, resisted the return of the sprinters until the last kilometer.
The young Belgian pocketed his 7th victory of the season, for his first year with the pros. A victory celebrated by imitating the horns of the bull, the "Bull" nickname of the Belgian phenomenon.
