Very canny move by Kwiatkowski to go on the descent before the final climb, Boonen had said beforehand he thought the descents could be more selective than the climbs. That he had the strength left to hold off a pretty select chasing group was impressive.
That was Valverde's 6th podium finish in the World Championships, yet he's never stood on the top step.
