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.  Once again this year, on Wednesday, April 23  the start of the 28th edition will take place after the men's race 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.

Prior to her provisional retirement, Anna van der Breggen dominated the race, winning seven titles between 2015 and 2021.

In 2023, 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. 

Last year, Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) held off Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) and Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek) after a late attack on Mur de Huy to take the win.
