La Flèche Wallonne Femmes 2024

La Flèche Wallonne: Powerful attack nets Kasia Niewiadoma victory atop Mur de Huy

As it happened: Kasia Niewiadoma breaks streak to take first victory since 2019 at La Flèche Wallonne Fèminine

In was a cold, wet and snowy edition of La Flèche Wallonne, Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) made a late attack on the Mur de Huy to take the victory beating Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) and Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek). 

Niewiadoma made her powerful, winning attack just outside of 200 metres to go, and quickly pulled ahead and opened a gap on the other two, and although Vollering came closer again on the final metres, Niewiadoma raised her right arm as she crossed the line first.

La Flèche Wallonne Femmes information

One of the oldest Spring Classics for professional women, la Flèche Wallonne Femmes takes place each year on the Wednesday between the Amstel Gold Race Ladies Edition and Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes, finishing on the leg-breaking Mur de Huy.  This year, on Wednesday, April 17  the start of the 28th edition was moved to 14:00 so that the women can finish about an hour after the men in front of the huge crowds on the Mur.

Beginning in 1998, the race has highlighted the top talent of the women's peloton, from three-time winner Fabiana Luperini and five-time winner Marianne Vos to the outright record holder and consecutive victory record holder Anna van der Breggen, who won seven straight times from 2015 to 2021.

La Flèche Wallonne Femmes is organised by the Amaury Sport Organisation, which also produces the Tour de France, Tour de France Femmes, Paris-Roubaix and many other major professional cycling races.

Last year, Demi Vollering made history when she not only claimed her first La Flèche Wallonne Femmes title, but captured the Ardennes Classics triple crown after winning Amstel Gold Race Ladies and Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes. The Dutch rider made her winning move early on the Mur de Huy to take the victory ahead of Liane Lippert (Movistar Team). Gaia Realini (Trek-Segafredo) rounded out the podium.
