L A FLÈCHE WAL LONNE

21 APRIL 2020 PODIUM 1st Marc Hirschi 2nd Benoît Cosnefroy 3rd Michael Woods

Flèche Wallonne has been criticised for its formulaic tactics. Basically, the race is always decided on the final steep ascent of the Mur de Huy. At the same time, the climb defines the race so much that it’s hard to imagine it any other way. Just sit back and enjoy the agonising slow-motion sprint over the final kilometre.
