French phenom Paul Seixas sprung late on the Mur de Huy to win La Flèche Wallonne on his debut at the Ardennes Classic, the biggest victory of his nascent career.
The Decathlon CMA CGM rider timed his decisive attack late on the steep finish in Belgium, leaving it to the final 200m to put daylight between him and his rivals. At 19 years and 210 days, he is the youngest-ever winner of the race in its 90-year history, by almost two years. He flew up the Mur in under three minutes.
