The Ardennes Classics continue on Wednesday with the 85th edition of La Flèche Wallonne, the penultimate chance for Classics stars to get a big result during the spring before focus moves to the stage racing season.

Riders will tackle 193.6 kilometres in the midweek race of the Ardennes triple, with three ascents of the brutally steep Mur de Huy – including the finishing climb – among 12 major hills lying between the peloton and glory in Wallonia.
