"To peel back the deeper dramatic narrative layers of a Monument or a Grand Tour is easier than peeling an onion, but for certain Classics like Average Amstel I find that deeper-narrative-peeling-process to be rougher than shucking corn. Perhaps this is a “Me” problem, but I can’t recall anyone else drawing out a compelling narrative from Average Amstel either (save in 2019)."
