Dylan Teuns became the first Belgian rider to win La Flèche Wallonne in over a decade on Wednesday afternoon, with the man from Diest beating five-time race winner Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) on the Mur de Huy.

The Bahrain Victorious leader recounted later on how he had been on the Mur the day Philippe Gilbert took victory – the second race of his Ardennes triple – in 2011 and wondered if his winning move might have been made in the same place as the Walloon.
