No one decided to follow him right away, and he quickly gained a lead of 30 seconds on the flat. The chase group consisting of the likes of Alejandro Valverde and Jungels\u2019 team-mate Julian Alaphilippe failed to collaborate effectively. Jelle Vanendert then attacked from the group on the Saint-Nicholas, closing the gap down to 20 seconds, but that was all we got to see from the chasers. In the end nobody was able to catch up with the 25-year-old, and Jungels rode to the biggest victory of his career so far.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/BobJungels\/status\/988313995747741696<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the race the closest to Luxembourg and every year there are a lot of Luxembourgish fans,\u201d the Quick-Step Floors rider said. \u201cI wasn\u2019t here for the last two years so I was looking forward to be back on those roads, and if you have your friends and family on the roads it\u2019s special, you hear them on small climbs, so it was a little bonus to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">\u23ea Relive the last kilometer and the victory of Bob Jungels !
