Debesay is the clear favorite, but can anyone surprise him?
Girmay attacks with 30KM to go, only Debesay is able to follow. Can they make this attack stick?
They are joined by Okbamariam 10K later. Abraha joins them just before the last cobbled sector, together they have over a minute. Debesay has a deadly pace on the cobbles, with only Okbamariam able to follow.
3KM to go and Debesay releases his devils!
Favorite for a reason! Debesay arrives alone to take the crown! Okbamariam takes second, with rookie Girmay completing the podium!
