I agree strade Blanche should good for him. Positioning is way easier in that race. Many of the traditional roadie dudes don’t ride that course very well. Wout should be able to move around quite easily. A remember watching this race a couple of years ago watching some terrible handling skills. One Italian or Spanish guy in the break got bogged down on a sandy climb and had to get off the bike - clearly a lack of familiarity for conditions like that.
The finishing climb may be a little too steep for Wout though - that ramp in the middle is perfect Kwiatkowski, Moscon, GVA, Sagan and maybe Wellens.
you probably are referring to this. crashing on an uphill due to treacherous gravel road
