Race report
Stephen Cummings jumps clear when no break has been formed with 55 kms done. Van der Sande, Helven, Bouwman, Pacher, Bono, Dillier, Laengen, Reijnen and Pedersen bridge the gap and the ten race to a lead at over 3 minutes.
With 50 kms remaining Cummings accelerates once again. Van der Sande, Bono and Dillier are the only ones able to follow.
At the penultimate climb up the Wall of Huy the pack is 0’30” down. At the top only Dillier and Cummings are left at the front. A little later the Briton goes solo and he powers to a 1 minute lead, but at the Côte d’Ereffe his story is over.
Jungels, Preidler and Izagirre attack on their way to the Cherave. Preidler is dropped and Wellens takes his place with 3 kms left, but at the foot of the Wall of Huy the three leaders are caught.
At the steep ramp Valverde rules like an emperor. Purito and Dan Martin try to attacks, but to no avail. The Spaniard is too strong. However, Martin pushes on to finish in third behind Julian Alaphilippe.
With the victory Valverde is the sole record holder in La Fleche Wallonne.
