Following her victory at La Flèche Wallonne Féminine on Wednesday, Marta Cavalli (FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine Futuroscope) now sits one race victory away from a famous and rare Ardennes treble.

The Italian was among the riders to watch at the start of the hilly Classics 10 days ago, but few would have predicted that she would be two from two after winning the Amstel Gold Race and Flèche. She is now seeking to become the only woman after Anna van der Breggen to do the triple this Sunday at Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
